Both Queens are “hanging”. If White captures Black’s Queen (1.Rxd5), Black captures White’s Queen
(1…Nxc3). But White can gain a Rook in this exchange by first sacrificing the Queen with 1.Qxg7+!
After 1…Kxg7, White will capture the Queen with 2.Rxd5, leaving White with an extra Rook.
Advice: Think before you move or even before you touch a piece that you may (or may not) want to
move! Sometimes the most obvious is not the best choice!
