Hello Chris,

Take a look at my comment to Edward regarding the Qxa8 move as part of both 
your solutions.

  Hi Richard and all,

  Okay, here would be my first choice:
  1. dxe6

  This opens up the d file for the white rook, plus advances your pawn to 
threaten the black pawn on f7 and possibly the black queen, while your queen is 
still threatening the white rook trapped on a8.
  A possible senario might be:
  1. dxe6  fxe6
  2. Qxa8  Bc7  
  3. Qc6...

  I know there is several senarios depending on the choices black makes.

  My second choice would be:
  1. Qxa8

  Chris

    Good Morning Puzzlers,

    This problem is from Mario Lang's puzzle web page at 
    http://delysid.org/chess/epd.cgi


     and is reported to be from Fred Reinfield's book "Win At Chess" 1958.

    Apparently, in this problem White has the happy choice of more than one 
solution.
