  1. Rc8 (1. … Qxd7, 2. Qf8+ Rxf8, 3. Rxf8+#)

  1. … Rxc8
  2. Qe7

  (2. … Qxe7, 3. dxc8=Q+)
  (2. … Rg8, 3. d8=Q)
  (2. … whatever else, 3. Qe8+)

  Rc8 wins at least black’s rook because of the threat of Qf8+

  Nice tactical problem! I have a new poll out about the upcoming world championship match, computer chess, etc.:

  It would be interesting to see people’s opinions about the future world championship and the future of chess.

  Rc8 wins as previous comments showed..
  BTW sorry to say this, but most of Andreas’ puzzles are too simple.
