After you do that, you have a chance to win the queen

I feel like hacking today. Time to build an Ethernet tap so I can analyze the custom protocol for my guitar pedal board

So close, but you lose your queen that way. You need one more move before Qd4+

For these, I like to think of it in two phases. First, is there a straight forward path to the king? If not, what is the best option to gain material (while not losing tempo).
And in all cases, I try to build as much pressure as I can.

There are lots of ways to do that, but it helps me prioritize.

Not bad, but this puzzle is a mate-in-one.

I feel you. I just finished Broken Sword for the first time like a week ago. Not too terrible, but the puzzles seemed to be a bit dialogue-heavy for me.
Trying to decide the next one (maybe To Hell with the Ugly)

Adventure games are a hell of a drug

It appears that half my job has become filling out captchas, because Google... 😖
