Chess Puzzle-3

White to Play and Win

Ok back with number 3. Lets assess the position of the board. White has put Black in the mating net. White can deliver a mate with its rook from h1 or h7. But Black's Queen is controlling both the squares and hence a check with its rooks would result capturing the rook for free.

What is the correct move for White and what are the consequences?
[Hint: The above puzzle is a Win for white!] 

Answer: 

1) Rh7 +!! This is followed by the capture of the rook by the Queen 

1)... Qxh7 . Then comes the move which in chess terms is called apllying a "SKEWER",(which many wouldn't have noticed)

2) Rh1+ !! Now the king has to move himself away from the file in order to save himself just to let his queen be captured. After the Queen capture its just an elementary mate position and white wins easily.
