Hello Puzzlers,
White queen can go to e8 checking the king. However, the black rook at e7
protects the e8 square. Is there a way for white to deflect the rook?
The black queen at b7 and the black rook at e7 protect the g7 square. Is
there a white move to deflect the queen or rook off the 7th rank?
Doctor Z is ready to operate. My solutions:
1. Rc7 Rxc7
2. Qe8+ Kh7
3. Rh3#
1. Rc8+ Qxc8
2. Qxg7+ Rxg7
3. Rxg7#
