In this puzzle the solution is to move the pawn on f3, then black captures it with a pawn. Why wouldn't black get the rook to safety instead? I must be missing something. If black doesn't take the pawn and moved the rook instead,
* white can't move the pawn up to support the queen for a checkmate because of black's queen.
* if white takes the black pawn the king's defense is a bit opened up but the white queen is on her own there, so I don't see a checkmate…
