wow! that is awesome, I am new to chess so I had a hard time giving up all those pieces! I got it without hitting solution though (first move took quite a few tries). truly was genius! My question is, doesn't the opposition ever stop and think -- why is he sacrificing his rook, or why is he sacrificing his queen? Now I will think twice when someone tempts me to capture their queen!
That's pretty.
Brilliant !!
I also made it without looking to soloution , after trying all possible moves :P
Can It ever be like this? .. I don't think so
nice

Not capturing the queen, will leave white with two queens.

I'm almost positive White can win Black's queen in that line as well if he plays 3. b8=Q++.
Very good.
