Tougher Chess Puzzles (force several moves and win)

[sunnykode]

I think this is what LB solution is trying to say. Again I am not sure, so if I am wrong somewhere then correct me

Black (B): Qg3
White(W): Qg3 (kills B's Queen)
B: Ne2 check
W: Kh1
B: Ng3 check (kills W's Queen)
W: Kg1
B: Ne2 check

At this point this is what the board looks like

Also remember LB solution says that Black is one N (Knight) up.
Is this the solution?

When B Queen moves to g3, white can choose to ignore the queen and go one attack of its own, but in order to remove the queen, white has to use his Queen, and the solution after that makes sense until it reaches the bold part.
Even after bold part, why will white give up?

SunnyBhau, it is not my solution ... it was the IM or GM did in that particular situation ... We may have to really smart to figure it out ... I am know I am not ... but it is worth a try

I am assuming that black will move its queen to g3? It can be taken out by even a pawn or queen, now I do not understand how to read the solution after this? Is there a convention I need to be aware of?
The bold part, I am not able to understand.
Is Ne2 Knight at e2? what is fxg3? g3 I know what is fx? similarly Rx?
Sorry if these are trivial questions, but someone pls help.

@LB, in your solution you did not put one Rook(Black) on board. The one which is on h3

Ok .. I got it ... Landya dropped one of the black rooks when he re-oriented the board.

Sunny bhau, white resigns because of material inferiority. Black goes one knight and one pawn up. This was not really a puzzle that leads to a definitive checkmate .. just establishing a position of superiority. There are several ways to achieve this, I guess.

Thanks Melly (nice catch) ...

Sorry folks, I had two windows open in two different browsers and forgot to put a rook ...

Guys...do me a favor...each time you introduce a problem....number it...like Problem 1 or Challenge 1....and when solved...write solved

In that way, I don't end up butting my head against a solved problem

melly ne nahi mene pehele notice kiya in post 28 or 29.
Drove me crazzy for a min or so, something did not look correct.
Good puzzle indeed, but as melly pointed out no certain answer, so can have multiple solutions, but the move with Queen to begin was amazing . After all GM played it, I was too occupied by forcing White to move and did not pay attention to the queen

yes you have to play both the sides. Chessup.net helps you post your current position in forums and is makes it easier for other to understand where you are at and what you are trying to say.
I use the chess board at home to solve these puzzles, makes it easier for me to see things and too used to playing chess on board then online
