It would be if you could guarantee that the queen would be taken by the rook.

But the king can also capture and then white is winning.

2 solutions

Not easy to set up a puzzle with 2 solutions with no 2 moves alike. I wonder which solution most people found first. I found the one that includes the white queen interposing on e1 first.
