Hi Alvin,

The move 1. Rg3 is correct.

But you did not see Black's reply:
1... Bg4 to block the Queen pin.

White will win a Bishop at least though.

  This would be good enough for me:
  1. Rg3 
  Pin Black Pawn to Queen by Bishop on d2 and pin Black Queen to King
  1. ...  Qxg3
  2. Nxg3 
  or
  1. ... f4xg3
  followed by
  2.Bxg5

  Queen for a Rook, is that good enough for a best move?
  Alvin
