The bishop/rook mating position seems faily common in these puzzles but I seldom use it in my games. Probably one of the reasons I am not a better player!

good one. think moving the bishop first would be equally effective.
I like these puzzles that involve giving up your queen because that thought never accures to me in a game so it causes a new train of thought.
very intersting game i solved it,
1. Qxe6 check
h7xe6
2.Bf6 what every black moves it will end mate Rh7# mate
Awesome, another puzzle successfully navigated!
another nice lesson/review.....
I like these multiple move puzzles-send more
I never would have thought to lose the queen.
Nice, but easy!
ez
so easy
NICE!!!!!!!!!!

B to F6 also works as the first move before White Q takes G6 pawn
I think ...d5 means this does not work. This unpins the f pawn and makes the queen sac useless.
nice

When in doubt, sac the queen.
Too true.
Looked at this puzzle for a few minutes this morning and could not get started,
Then ! - I remembered that this was Chess.com....
So I tried trashing my Queen as quickly as possible,
and gee-whiz, wadda-ya-know, the mate immediatly fell into place.

good one
Mighty fine.
