In the sequence of the second diagram, 3...Qc1+ is a mistake:  instead of 4.Kh2, White can reply 4.Re1+ (discovered check) and White wins.

Ah, you're right.  Man, I hate it when I do that.  >_<

Chess sure is tricky.  There are mistakes in the Tactics Trainer sometimes, and in the Boston Globe, too, occasionally.  If it were easy it wouldn't be so much fun!
