Solution:
Did you play 1.Qh6 and wonder why I gave such a simple problem? Or did you pick 1.h3 or 1.b3 or even 1.Rg5, all of which would have been far better than the one White picked, which was, indeed, 1.Qh6?? Black jumped at the mating opportunity and won the game: 1.Qh6 Qxf1+ 2.Kxf1 Bc4+ 3.Rd3 Bxd3+ 4.Kg1 Re1#
