You wanna start the chess move with Q...

Many of the puzzles are different for each player, I personally had Rf8+
Yeah, I got an Rf8+ and between that and the roman numerals, didn't know how to get down to 200. Then I tried to move the egg to a different spot and the chicken died.
But the best move in the chess puzzle I got requires moving the rook.
Qxg7+. Chess subreddit has a counter of days without a puzzle that starts with a queen sacrifice.
Technically impossible since queens cannot materialize out of thin air, except in crazyhouse.

Also Rg1+ is a rather pretty attraction/clearance sacrifice/double check/mate-in-2.

The chess puzzle is different for everyone...
