Solution one: The Knight Fork Knight to f7 and checks King while threatening queen. Black must move it's king out of check, then you capture the Queen. |
Solution two: The Skewer Rook to d2 checks the king forcing it to move out of the way, which leaves the queen open. The rook can now capture the queen. |
Solution three: Double Check Bishop to c5 puts the king in Double-Check, forcing it to move, leaving the queen vulnerable to the bishop. White can now exchange a bishop for a queen. |
Solution four: A Red Flag Rook to d1 threatens the queen and pins it because it is in front of the king. Black cannot move its queen off the d-file. Any move that black does leaves the queen to a forced rook-queen exchange, a very profitable exchange. |
Solution Five: Combo Knight to g6 is a knight fork, checking the King and threatening the rook at the same time. If black recaptures with pawn, then white can capture the rook with its queen. |
Solution Six: The Invincible Bishop Bishop to h2, which is a discovered check by the rook, while threatening white's queen with a bishop. Since White has to move out of check, black has gained an extra move and can now take white's queen. |
