I have never been able to beat the computer on medium here.  I got here and I thought I was doing ok.  any suggestions for the next move or 10?

the next move was a4 b6, Bd4 Qb4, Qf4 Qxa4, upon which I sacrificed my queen for the computers bishop and two rooks after putting it in check on f7.  this is what it looked like after that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Upon which it just took my bishop and rook and I was in serious trouble of losing the pawn about to promote.

Can Black respond effectively? White threatens mate with Qxe7.

I dont think I understand what your saying? 

and by the way the black queen should have been on b4 in that 2nd picture.

I think you got the right idea, 1. Qh4 and black is stuck for a move. Say he goes Kd8.  There follows 2. Rxf8+ Rxf8 3. Qxe7+ Kc8 4. Qd7+ Kb8 5. Bd6#

Ah, but if I go Qh4 it will just respond with b6 thus moving my black bishop out the way and eliminating threat on e7.

 

Im thinkin maybe I coulda immediately moved black bishop to 1. Bd4 threatening Queen and g7 pawn.  then take the pawn then Bxg7 Bxg7.  I think I would have been in a better position then.  hmm.

dam that should be Bxg7 Qxg7.
