If you were able to find it, Congrats, not an easy puzzle

This is actually from one of my games which I found this and went on to win

The first move is the hard one, the rest isn't as hard.

I actually found most of the moves instantly besides the last one lmao

so you found (white text so i don't spoil the answer) ba7, a complex tactic to deflect the queen from the defense of c8, but missed qc6, a simple mate  

I swear the club background is red so your white text is just more prominent

but yes

the club background is red xD, that just made it more obvious

it took me like 40 random tries to find the first move, everything else was super easy.

yep, the whole tactic revloes around the first move

Easy one this time. Nice puzzle though

Took me about 30 seconds to find the first (oh I just attack queen ig and weak back rank) and the rest were pretty easy. But I was 2300 puzzles ig, then I tilted

I highly doubt, anyone took the time to calculate ALL the variations

I found every move fairly quickly, except for Re1+, which took me a bit longer. (Although I didn't calculate every line)

Took me about the same amount of time too (1st try with no hints), but the first move took probably half the time and then the rest was fairly simple. Very nice puzzle happy.png

I won't spoil it for others, but the first move reminded me of a game GM Carlsen played, so I more-or-less seen the pattern before happy.png

After ...Kf8, White can just take the Queen with Rxb8 grin.png but even still, with this variation after ...Nf6, no Black is in really bad shape. 6. Rd1 Qe8 7. Qc7 and threat of Rd8 to win the Queen is strong...but again, just take the Queen after ...Kf8 xD

Can't you take on b8 instead with the rook?
