    I cannot see these hidden things unless I use 'reply and quote'

    I am not sure of a forced win but I think a good try would be:

    Reveal Hidden Content

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

    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.

    In an actual OTB game, you may have several other things on your mind that makes it more difficult to see.

    Huh - never clicked on the 'hidden' thingy. Reveal Hidden Content
    Doh!


    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. ...[text shortened]... Qb1 Rh1 {Same move as 1.Rh1 expect this time the Queen cannot hide on h7. Beautiful.}[/pgn]
    A nice example of a domination theme!
