    Oh it's the other way around, ok Nf1. Rook is pinned because of Qd4#, 2.Nd3 is unstoppable..

    I think you mean 1.Nc1, which is refuted by ...Rxe4.

    The composer of this problem has his own website, which is well worth a visit:

    Here's the solution:

    1 Qd3? (threat 2 Qd5)
    1 ... Rxe4 2 Qb5
    but 1 ... Rh5!

    1 Qa4! (threat 2 Qb5)
    but 1 ... bxa3!

    1 Qd1? (threat 2 Qd5)
    1 ... Rh5 2 Qxh5
    but 1 ... Rxe4!

    1 Nc3! (threat 2 Na4)
    1 ... bxa3/bxc3 2 Qb5
    1 ... Rxe4 2 Qd5

    You missed the last one. Good try though.
