In the sequence of the second diagram, 3...Qc1+ is a mistake:  instead of 4.Kh2, White can reply 4.Re1+ (discovered check) and White wins.

Chess sure is tricky.  There are mistakes in the Tactics Trainer sometimes, and in the Boston Globe, too, occasionally.  If it were easy it wouldn't be so much fun!
