Nice one! Once I saw the puzzle, I immediately realized it involved a double rook sacrifice. That's a good example of sacrificing material in a way that you force a recapture, allowing you to bring in a stronger piece, which, in this case, is the queen.

Had trouble with the first move, but found thenext three with little trouble. Talk about a truly deadly quiet move like 4. Qf6!

Nice one! I decided to check it with Stockfish. Apparently, there are many ways to win, with the quickest being 1...Bg2!!, and 1...Rxd6 (followed by 2...Bg2!!) being a close second. Apparently, even the move I saw first (1...Bf1!?) gives Black an almost winning position.
