Wow! Very nice.
good puzzle
If 2. ... Qd7 then black can avoid checkmate (but still lose the queen). I'm not sure I would see that as black, though, and I'd probably fall for your trap!
Great puzzle. This position is from a real game?
Can you show how it got to that point?
good puzzle or was this from one of your games? Question - why would black ever place themself in this situation (king very exposed, etc)? What opening was used to get here? Because as a pure puzzle its not very practical.
Otherwise it is very aptly named!
I would guess that black just took white's queen and assumed a trade.

Good point, after Qd7 black will easily be ahead with his extra piece. Taking with the knight outright is better because its a clean kill and don't have to trade a piece to get the queen.
nice, but white is already winning after the queen capture, with substantial lead in development.

http://www.chess.com/echess/game.html?id=9415346: That is the game, the actual game. Notice that I, black, was winning as I was up a queen. I was happy to accept that in exchange for being behind in development. I learned a couple lesson there, and I hope you can too.
nice
nice puzzle
