Hello all,
Doctor Z has his scalpel ready. My solution:
1. f3/h3 (attacking queen) Qh4 (finding safe square)
2. Qf6 (Placing queen on diagonal with black king and rook.) Kb8
3. Re8+ Rd8 (blocks check)
4. Qd7 (Note how the black rook at d8 cannot take queen because of white
rook at e8.) a6
5. Rxd8+ Ka7 (King sacrifices rook to escape.)
Black would probably seek these alternatives.
1. -Qxe6 (Queen takes rook.)
2. Qxe6 (Queen takes queen.)
1. -Qg8 (defensive square)
2. Re8+ Qxe8 (Queen takes rook.)
3. Qxe8+ (Queen takes queen.) Rd8 (blocks check)
The best black can do is to exchange the queen for a rook. This leaves
white with a queen and rook against black's rook.
