Blind Spot

 


I've been staring at this mate in 3 puzzle and I can't see the solution!

  • h2+ Kh1 Qxf2 Nxg4 and there's no mate
  • hxg2 Kxg2 Rh2+ Kg1 and there's no mate
  • Qf4 Nxg4
  • Nxe5 Bxe5
  • Qe4 Bf3
  • etc

Ten minutes later...
Oh, Qxf2+ looks good.
Rxf2 (otherwise Qxg2#) h2+ 
  • Kh1 Nxf2#
  • or Kf1 h1=Q#
