The first move is Nd5, attacking the queen and using the pin of the pawn on e6. The queen must move, but she can't leave the 6 file, because if she does, Qe6+ and mate is coming. But she also has to defend the pawn at c7, or the knight will capture with check. So I'd move the queen to c6, as black. Either way, the next move is Nf6+, forking the rook. Beyond that, I don't know.
