[need a hint?]
[Solution]

1.Nd5
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
Discovered attack in the most effective manner -
combined with a double attack. The knight moves away,
discovering an attack against the black rook, meanwhile the knight
attacks the black queen.
1...Qd8 2.Bxc7
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
Attempting to deflect the queen away from protecting
the rook - removal of the guard! Meanwhile Black has to watch
out for his vulnerable back rank.
2...Qd7 3.Qf5
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
Brutal! White threatens mate on h7 via the
combined action of the queen and rook. White also threatens,
once again, to deflect the queen away from protecting the rook.
Black has no defense to the combined threats, and so resigns.
