Good Morning Puzzlers,

Be sure to look at Paul's analysis for more details.

The best move is: 1. Qe5+ or 1. Qf4

Principle:
White notices the Black Queen and Rook align along a common diagonal.
So moving to either e5 or f4 pins the rook.  The e5 move also checks the King 
gaining time.
1. Qe5+ anything
2. Qxd6 Qxd6
3. c7 Qxc7
4. rxc7, and White should win easily with a Rook.
