Hi Chris,

You are on the right track, but don't overlook in your analysis that Black can 
also block the Rook pin with either his Bishop or Rook at g4.

  Hi Richard and all,

  Okay, I know the puzzles want to know the next best move available.
  And this has to be done by a forcing move.
  So this is what I would do:

  1. Rg3, pinning and threatening his queen with my rook.
  Black only has two responses to this move:
  1... fxg3, taking my rook with his pawn
  or
  1... Qxg3, taking my rook with his queen

  If black...
  1... fxg3
  2. Bxg5, taking his queen and threatening his rook
  or
  if black...
  1... Qxg3
  2. Nxg3

  Either way, white is able to capture black's queen and increase his advantage.

  Chris
