Pawn takes Queen?

Sort:

This is Game 1 from "Logical Chess" by Irving Chernev.

At move 17 White's King is trapped. Can the pawn on f2 take the Queen on g3?

But with the Queen eliminated, couldn't the King take the Bishop?

By the way, "Logical Chess" is an excellent book for casual players like myself who want to start playing chess for real.

I'm sorry my question doesn't seem reasonable to you, I'm here trying to learn. Okay, so considering that I'm not all that much of a chess player, here's how I'm seeing it. Pawn takes Queen, Bishop moves down to G1, Rook takes Bishop. No?

No I've been playing chess for a long time, but only started taking it more seriously about 4 or so years ago. Started reading books and joined chess.com.
