One is right one is wrong. Used to be you just mouse over them, now you have to click on them.

One is right one is wrong. Now you have to click the hidden icon, then a popup window shows the text. Instead of hovering, click. 🙂

Black to play and win. A proud moment for me! I figured a greenpawn puzzle would be far too advanced for me.
I don't know how to hide answers so I won't post it, but I looked at every contingency for white, and there's always a winning continuation for black.
A side note, there's no way in heck I would have seen that in an actual game.

Giving the solution is almost as good as solving the puzzle.
[FEN "5k2/1p3pp1/8/7P/b6r/P4K2/1P6/1Q6 b - - 0 1"] 1... Rh1 {1..Qa2 2.Bb3 and 3.Rh3+ Everywhere else the Queen goes she gets skewered or pinned to the King except 1.Qg6 when 2.fxg6 knocks her off the board. So.....} 2. Qh7 Rxh5 {3...Qxh5 then 4.Bd1+. so back to b1.} 3. Qb1 Rh1 {Same move as 1.Rh1 expect this time the Queen cannot hide on h7. Beautiful.}

Rf8. Anywhere the queen moves she'll be forked by the knight.
