queen sacrifice



Yes, the queen is the most powerful piece in chess.
Sometimes, you can sac it to checkmate the enemy queen.

I have done this once or two times.
Check out this problem:
It is black to move. He can force a checkmate in three moves.
First, how can black create a weak back rank?
Hint: Use your queen.
Each move has to be a check otherwise, white will checkmate black first.
