Can You Outsmart Legends?

This brilliant puzzle was given to top players at a 1987 tournament featuring legends like Kasparov, Karpov, and Tal. Only Mikhail Tal found the solution. Kasparov and Karpov weren't able to find the solution. Even Stockfish of chess.com can't find the solution.
Think you can crack it?

I DESTROYED this puzzle easily. Therefore, I am MUCH BETTER than Stockfish, Kasparov and Karpov at chess.

It is a riddle. If black doesn't capture white's queen then there is a checkmate. You can understand this puzzle through the following link:

How about to find the sacrifice of Knight followed by the sacrifice of queen. I don't think this is easy for any player. Even legends like Kasparov and Karpov weren't able to find it.

Hi, hello!
Can you solve this riddle? 🧠♟️
I'm naming this one: Chess Riddle

I stand tall, but not in the middle, 🏰
On a file that's key to the riddle. 🔑
I don’t chase knights, 🏇
But I'm ready to strike, day or night. 🌙

I'm not on the edges, far and wide, 🌍
But I’m close to the king, with no place to hide. 👑
I control many squares, 📏
But I’m always more powerful with support there. 🤝

I’m strong in the open, but watch the pawn, ♟️
When I slide, they say “move on!” 🏃‍♂️
I’ll reach my goal when the time is right, ⏰
But where am I on this endless fight? ⚔️

.
.
.
Who am I?
