ohhh ohhh sexy time!
That was a really awesome puzzle. Thanks for posting. Who is the author?
i find the puzzle in an old chess book
first, white try to trap the king ( use the bishop to check and the rook capture the queen)
then, suddenly white give up one of the rooks and black lost the queen
Very nice!
The queen was not active at all The queen could have captured the two rooks.

At which move do you suggest the queen should have moved? Black is in check every move.
Not to mention the rooks were on black squares each move.
there must be something I'm missing because the king could take the rook when it was NEXT TO IT!

Well, on move 7 the queen has a chance to move. It involves sacrificing the queen though, with no chance of capturing a piece.

white had a discover check (either on the queen or the king) every time a rook was in jeopardy. if 2...Kxb7 3. Bd5+ and whatever the king does the other white rook takes the queen.
