    OK, one last position for anybody who's interested, since I thought this was wonderful, and very unusual. White can take the Queen with check, but he gets mated.

      White's only move is rook to E1.

        Rook to E1 wouldn't help. After ..RE8 and RE2 and then RxE2 the situation would be worse than before.

        D3 might be a move, no?

          D3 just loses the Queen, and in compensation white has a totally lost position

                White Queen to F3.
                Still loses the Queen, but at least taking a black Bishop with it.

                    Kasparov 1981. Mate in 3 if QxR. White avoids mate if QxN but still loses queen.
