3M Stemwinder Chess Puzzle #41 Solution

 

1. Qd6

(The Queen moved from d2 to d6.)
Black has only one possible reply:

1. ... Rxd6 to which White replies:
2. Rf7#
(This is now possible because the White Queen sacrificed itself in order to lure Black's Rook to d6 and block the diagonal leading from the b8 Bishop to the White King!)
