One day when I'm sitting in front of my empty chessboard I hit upon an interesting idea of a pin. This involves pin and counter-pin!

rxg5+ then Qxg5# seems a lot simpler to me, and I believe it's forced.

Great problem. Good extensive use of pins. I like the quiet solution move.

Nice simple problem, but the key is a tad too obvious.
