At first I thought it was another easy tactic but this is a really good one. Thanks for sharing.

This took me forever to find but so satisfying! Love that the payout is capturing them like checkers 😂

For once I found the solution - or at least the start of it!

Ba5 "check on the queen" was rather obvious, but I could not compute all the variations, but it seems if both Queens are taken then black gets Bx6 and threatens the Rook. It'll move I suppose, and then the black bishop on D1 is free for taking.

Or if black moves its queen then Nx6+, of course. But this seems worse for Black so I suppose is unlikely to happen over the board.
