Right moves for the solution to the medium chess puzzle 0036

Based on the objective of the puzzle, you have to make the right moves. Following are the right moves

1. e4, Ba3+, Rxe4

4. Qxe4 - Queen fell into your trap set by the decoy move. Your opponent has not realised that this is a decoy move
5. Kb1 - King escapes from the check
6. For right move - You combined fork and decoy move to gain the queen. Good strategy
7. For wrong move - You could have moved your pawn and gained the queen after giving a check. Do not stop trying
