Rook to e8 Check, King to h7, Pawn to g7 check, Pawn takes pawn, pawn takes pawn, mate.
Moves for white – rook e8 check, pawn g6 check, pawn h6 mate.

Here’s a nice little combo I found in a blitz game today. r1b3k1/ppp1rpp1/3p1q1p/8/2PN4/1PPQP1P1/P4P1P/3R1RK1
Black to move. Of course the solution is 1….Bh3 2. Rfe1 c5 and the game ended after 3. Nb5 Qf3 4. Qd5 Re4!! White resigns
1.Re8+! Kh7
2.g6+! fxg6
3.hxg6 mate!
