I just ran across this one, and I loved solving it because of its

3.Qg4 would totally crush the ambitions of any player of the Black pieces who did not notice it earlier. Black only needed to develop one more piece(the dark square bishop) for defense of the back rank.
1. Bg7 Rxg7 2. Rc8 Rg8 3.Qg4 (threatening Qg7 and Qxg8 for mate)…I dont see a way to stop it.
As Emory Tate would say when delivering a mating attack, “An answer has never been found.”
More coming!

Chess is certainly an artistic expression!
how bout 1.qg4!!?
nevermind, my original intention was to meet 1.qg4 bf5 with 2.bg7+ rg7 3.rc8 but that runs into bxc8..
