The puzzle I did just before this one had a comment, "Chess.com's favorite tactic: a Queen sacrifice followed by a Rook and Bishop mate." Yep.

I solved it without looking properly, I thought it was a 1 move mate and never saw the bishop until it took the queen....all worked out good though!!!

Another nice queen sacrifice, it just never gets old.

josh, it's not stupid because if you play Qh7+, the knight can be used to block and the mate is gone. I know because I did it wrong myself

I have a very strong feeling that I did the same puzzle a few months ago with the queen somewhere else.

Looked at the problem: theres the easy mate! Looked again: Oh nevermind, darn diagonal. Looked again: Wait, doesnt matter it still works!
Itchy_Toe
Same as jbgargamel ... there's the easy mate ... hang on, darn bishop on the diagonal ... look for something else ... 2 minutes later ... oh it still works! Problem solved but scored -7.
