The Quiet Move
There's a few "mind-bending" puzzles that I've seen on Steem lately, so I wanted to throw one in that isn't too difficult while still being challenging enough and fun! In this position, black has just moved his rook back to f8 to cover the queen check. White has a winning attack, though; the first move may be obvious at first glance, but the following moves require a bit more thought.
White to move—what do you play?

Bishop to E6?
Not sure after that as I'm not great at chess
Good start! Can you figure out what white should play next?
pown check?! ill give that a go.
f7+? Okay, then the king moves up to g7 or slides over to h8. How do you continue the attack?
queen b7
