solution

1… Qxg2 2. Kxg2 Nf4+ 3. Kg1 Nh3#? Nice queen sacrifice

Wouldn’t the bishop just take the knight?

The king is in check so that isn’t an option.

I overlooked the black bishop in that play. My mistake!

Why not knight e3 first. White has to take it with the pawn or it’s mate next turn, then queen g2 mate?

Also, g2 would be defended by the white queen after the f pawn takes the knight
