Answering puzzles

Here is another example where white have to sacrifice a piece to win in the end:

He moves his Rook to h8.
The black King takes the Rook.

1) Rh8 +     Kxh8

Now, the board looks like this:
White moves his Queen to h6, check (+),
The black King moves to g8.

2)  Qh6 +     Kg8

Now, the board looks like this:
White can win in one move!  Can you see it??

YES! - The Queen takes g2, checkmate (#).

3) Q x g2 #

Now the checkmate board looks like this:

I hope you enjoyed this one as well!
