I know this is an old comment, but the key is to keep on playing after the trade of rooks.6. Re2+ Kd7 (if Qe5, then 7. Rxe5+ leads to an obviously won position) 7. Qe8+ Kc7 8. Re7+ Kb6 9. Qb8+ 9... Kc6 results in the immediate trade of a queen for a rook, as follows: 10. Qb7+ Kc5 11. Rc7+ Qxc7 (the king has no moves) 12. Qxc7 If 9... Kc5, then it will take longer, but the result is just the same: 10. Rc7 Kd5 (or trading the queen for the rook straightaway with Qxc7) 11. Qb7+ Ke5/e6 12. Re7+ Kf6 13. Rxf7+ Now, Kg5 or Kg6 walk into a mate in 3, so the king has to come back. 13... Ke5/e6 14. Qe7+ Kd5 15. Rxf5+ The rook is now on the same rank as the black queen and will pick it up once the king moves. |

I don't like the puzzle after black plays 5.gxf5... I see now that it's an advantage, but it's really hard to accept a rook trade as white's goal here. ^^
