    solution

    1… Qxg2 2. Kxg2 Nf4+ 3. Kg1 Nh3#? Nice queen sacrifice

      Wouldn’t the bishop just take the knight?

        The king is in check so that isn’t an option.

          I overlooked the black bishop in that play. My mistake!

      Sorry for the ignorance but I’m not familiar with the shorthand. What is Nf4+ & Nh3#

        N = Knight, F4 = square moved to, + = opponent King in check, # = Opponent King in Checkmate

    Why not knight e3 first. White has to take it with the pawn or it’s mate next turn, then queen g2 mate?

      Because white doesn’t have to take the knight first. White can trade queens there, and then the knight is lost on the next move.

      Also, g2 would be defended by the white queen after the f pawn takes the knight
