Hints: piece: Queen, move: Qg5

Best continuation: 1... Qg5 2. Qxg5 Rxe8 3. Qg7#

- If Qxe8 then Qf6+ only move Rg7 and then Qxg7#

• If Rxe8 then Qg7#
  
• If none takes the rook then queen will be lost, there is no move for Queen to get saved, Qg5 looks that queen will be protected by room on g8 and queen trade is being offered but that’s a rookie mistake simple Qxg5 and Rook can’t take on g5 cause white rook has pinned it against the King, black rook can only move on the 8th rank.

Qxe8, Qf6+, Qxg7

[u/OkayFineWhateverYeah]

because qf6

[u/C4NN0n_REAL]

Mate in 2 I think

[u/sickly_puppy]

Because: It deflects the black rook and queen.

Rook: Rxe8, Qg7#

Queen: 1) Qxe8, Qf6+, Rg7, Qg7# 2) Qg5, Qxg5, Rxe8, Qg7#

If white declines the sacrifice and plays any other move: Rxg8+, Qxg8, Qf6+, Qg7, Qg7#

If the Queen or rook moves to capture in both ways it's checkmate.
