This is only my second puzzle, and I know that black has alternate moves, but he/she did not make them and this is how my game panned out, like the old witwicky tradition... no sacrifice, no victory!
interesting puzzle. The problem is there are so many moves that black could do otherwise, it is not a great puzzle. A great puzzle has it so that ANY POSSIBLE MOVE LINE is covered to be in white's/black's favor, whether it's a mate or an overwhelming piece advantage. Good second puzzle nonetheless.
