All hail the Helix!
Difficulty Rating: Medium
Tactics Involved:
*Decoy
*Deflection
1. Qg7 (Decoying the queen to g7, while also deflecting it away from protecting the c7 square.)
1. ...Qxg7 (There are other choices too, but either lose the queen or be mated too. 1. ...Qf6 2. Nc7+ is similar to the main line.)
2. Nc7+ (Forcing the King behind his line of pawns.)
2. ...Kf8 (Now that the Queen is away from protecting the square, the King must move.)
3. Rd8# (A brilliant back rank mate.)
