Ra1+, Kh2, Qd4, Rc1, Rxc1, Nxc1, Qd1, f5, Nh7, Qe3, (If Qf4, Rd4) Nxf5 with a fork. Whew, I'm tired, lol.

Beautiful Puzzle!

alphaous

Amazing coordination of the pieces!

alphaous

This one took some visualization, so I might have missed something.

I have a question: How does a knight go from h7 to f5?

Oh NOO! I'm not a genius after all.

Well, I'll try again. I think I'm on the right track.

Ra1+, Kh2, Qd4, Rc1, Rxc1, Nxc1, Nh7, Nxb3, Nxg5, Nxd4, Ne4, Re3, Rxd4, maybe?

You have the right idea about white's back-rank weaknesses, but the first move is not Ra1+.

alphaous

Wow. There goes all that calculation.

I think I'll come back later.

First of all, how do you do that? Second of all, remove this post as it is the answer and I do not want others to copy.

You're welcome! Though there is a glitch where if you comment a puzzle, it won't show up the first time, so you have to edit the comment for it to show up.
