Here is a puzzle. The object is to win the queen, not checkmate. Hope for the best!

Technically it's still lost this way, but black could play, after 1. Qd4+, 1.Qb6 to avoid losing the queen for nothing.

I think I'd rather win the king (3 Nc6+ Kb7 4 Na5 mate).

 Wrong.  The king is in double check(there's still a rook on g8).
