Why not RxNg8+?

I admit I couldn't figure this puzzle out but Sundays puzzles are the most difficult. I don't know why a queen sacrifice was needed when rook sacrifice suffices? I thought RxNg8+ but it's actually: QxNg8+ NxQg8, Rf7 Qxc5, Rh7# Here, Rf7 guards f8 to prevent Qf8+ winning QxRg7

Fun

Went to the tavern where the owner is a friend of mine. Surprisingly he wasn't working that day, so we could finally have a round of chess. I seldom play, but I enjoy it every time. Managed a stalemate against him and another stalemate against someone else. Drunk chess is something else. Edit: I... (edited) read more

Chess regrets of 2025

Looking back at 2025, the only effort I made towards chess was puzzles. I even helped an 11y child beat me twice back to back. You have to have time to commit to learning chess, otherwise you can't get anywhere.

The reflections on the water look like chess pieces. Отсветы на воде похожи на шахматные фигуры.

I see a queen, several pawns, two bishops and one rook.
