Hello Puzzlers,
Let's start with some analysis. The black queen is pinned along the d5-f7
diagonal to the black king.
Doctor Z is ready to operate. My solution:
1. Rd1 (creating a double pin)
if 1. -Qxc4 (Queen takes queen.)
2. Rxd8+ (Rook takes rook.) Kg7
3. bxc4 (Pawn takes queen.)
if 1. -Qf7 (Queen retreats.)
2. Rxd8+ (Rook takes rook.) Kg7
3. Qxf7+ (Queen takes queen.)
Black loses a rook in the exchange.
