hi KnightAttack,

This is a very interesting puzzle, demonstrating the power of a queen sacrifice to force a mate within few moves., and something that is very challenging and intriguing to solve.

Before I looked at solutions offered by others, I also find that Qh3 solves it by forcing mate in 2, as Rh2 combines nicely with a well-placed bishop to execute unavoidable mate, once after white's Bishop is forced to take sacrificing queen, otherwise QxBg2# in next move anyway.

Sweet and Neat forced mate in 2 - Thanks for this interesting learning experience.
