Hello Edward,

I think you basicly have the correct answer, but what about the following 
missing continuation?
1. Re7 Qxe7
2. Nxe7+ Bxe7
3. ?

Hello All,
Doctor Z has his scalpel ready.  Black has its chess pieces in the wrong place. 
 My solution:
1. Re7 (attacking both the queen and supporting a seventh rank checkmate) Qxd5 
(Queen takes knight)
2. Qc7++

1. -Qxe7 (Queen takes rook.)
2. Nxe7+ (Knight takes queen.) Kd7
3. Qxb7+ (Queen checks and attacks rook at same time.)

This allows white to get a rook for a knight.

2. -Kb8
3. Nxc6+ (Pawn cannot take knight because of queen in same file as king.) Kc8
4. Qd8++

The best black can do is to exchange its queen and rook for white's rook and 
knight.  This gives white a 6 point advantage.  Now, white activates its king 
and pawns to win the game.
Edward
