Hello puzzlers,
Black queen at g5 checks white king at g2. White queen at e3 pins black queen 
at g5 to black king at h6.
The black king is the only piece protecting the black queen. If white can push 
the black king away from h6, the white queen takes the black queen.
1. Ng4+ (Blocks check and checks black king.)
if 1. -hxg4 (Pawn takes knight preventing check.)
2. Rh1+ Kg7 (only escape square)
3. Qxg5 (Queen takes queen.)
if 1. -Kh7/Kg7
2. Qxg5 (Queen takes queen.)
Edward
