An interesting chess puzzle I found on reddit.

So, apparently this is a 4000 rated chess puzzle according to chess.com. Can you find a way to solve it?

Before you click the hint option, consider these hints that I give you.

Hint 1: Nf2+ is not the move. It's a blunder. It makes the evaluation bar equal and loses all your advantage.

Hint 2: You are two pawns up and have a king that can move around with full mobility in the end game.

Also, I myself could not find like a full flegded answer. So, there is a lot to explore in this position. Just saying in case you wonder how this is a 4000 rated puzzle.

And I don't get the point of the moves in that puzzle at all.

Qe3 is a forced queen trade because its attacking the rook. And here, black has a king that is pretty close to the centre also black is 2 pawns up. Therefore, there is a queen trade.

And yea, there is a lot to explore... I don't have all the answers in this puzzle but the two moves make sense.

And Nf2+ just makes the position equal so thats why its a blunder.
