Black, feeling the heat from White's attack, panicked, and offered to exchange queens (...Qc6-d5).  White is about to show Black the error of his ways.

1.Rxe7+








Oops!  Now what's protecting Black's queen?

White has removed the piece guarding the queen with check, forcing Black's response, and preventing him from moving or protecting his queen.

Of course White can also win, albeit more slowly, by 1.Qg7 Rg6 2.Rxe7+ Rxe7 3.Qxg6.

1...Rxe7 2.Qxd5+








White's material advantage is overwhelming.
