A good tip for beginners is that when you are trying to find a mate you would usually want to move your strongest piece first (in this case, the queen) to reduce the manoeuvrabality of the enemy king
Nice puzzle thanks for sharing. Solved! 🌼
Good tip, Anna. I would also add to look for a Mate when the enemy King's own pieces are blocking its possible escape routes.
