in your first variation black may have annoying checks on move 4: better seems 4.Qd6+, continuing as in your second variation
nice puzzle susan! i like the ones i can actually solve. keep up the great work
Hi Susan. I have to agree with Jakob’s solution. This situation looks complex, but is actually the exact opposite. It’s easy for white to “finish” black.
Keep up the great work!
