Not sure if you can see it so here is the position.

1. Qxf7 Rh3+

How is 1. ... Rh3+ a good move for black? 2.Kxh3 and black has lost all possible hope.

Never mind 1/2-1/2.

Funny how I see the answers the moment I post the question. Same in chess. I see the mistake as soon as I hit submit. 🙂

Not sure if this is part of the puzzle, but Qe5+ would be the move for white.
