 Same problem from my first post of PUZZLE in the CASTLE, I said from my first post that there will be 2 options of attack to make a huge win for white. This time find the 2nd option, "Smash his Castle".

TIP: Force the move of Black.

What's the threat after Qf3, other than Qh3, followed by Ne6+ and Qh6, mating soon?  How does Kg7 stop it?

It's interesting to note that after 4. Re7 then 4. ... Qxe7 is forced as the other variations lead to checkmate. This effectively trades the Queen for a rook and knight, but it's probably not as good as the given solution.

it was very easy i just looked for all the moves in my head and found where they moved it was awesome.
