Sassa: Wonderful puzzle! Also, itīs funny to see that the black Rook, Knight and Bishop still are on their initial position by the move 21!

Sassa: I have to get more used to theses puzzles! I was looking only for a mate in few moves and after a long time looking for the position, I gave up! Didnīt realize the Queen could be easily captured!

Sassa: Well, I first got the right idea (Rxf6), but then I thought Qd1+ would be a problem, until I realized Kf2 was fine. But then again I figured out white could trade Q for two R. It means I couldnīt solve this one, because I didnīt see the line played where only one white Rook was traded
