Good Morning Puzzlers,

No takers again, are these problems too hard?

The best move is: 1... Qc4+

Principle:
the white king is not currently in check, but is unable to move without being 
in check.
Black must force the situation before White can open up his position.
the black queen moves to c4 checking White.
White is forced to capture with the Knight 2. Nxc4
And Black mates with 2... bxc4#
