You play white. 

You are down a piece.

What do you do now?

Nice puzzle!

First!!

Good, dear Prince of Patzers!!

Thanks 

There is more than one way to solve this puzzle. The statement "You are in a lost position" is incorrect. Therefore it is reasonable to assume the statements "You play white" and "White to Move" are also incorrect. Then the answer to "What do you do now?" is to mate in one with Qxf1#.

The wording of a puzzle can be important, to avoid unintended solutions. You could have excluded that rather silly solution by saying "You are in a seemingly lost position."

FIRST PAGE!

Ok, but, according to computer analysis, the BEST way to finish that game, for white, is the way I set in the puzzle.

See the original game with the computer analysis for move 29 until end:

So good to see the old and funny "first page" quotes in puzzle's threads!!

That is a pity chess.com blocked this in its official daily puzzle.

No argument with that. I was just pointing out the problem with your introductory statement that White has a lost position.

Very, very nice puzzle! FP

Ok, you got a point. I edited the text of # 1.

Great puzzle

You can post in the DP again

I like the way you think. Although english isn't is first language I think (he's brazilian) so give him a chance!

My purpose was to offer him a chance, and he accepted. He has edited the puzzle introduction and eliminated my objection.
