I like this puzzle. If you first see the possibility of Nf5 or Nh5, you can be blind to the actual answer. The N moves look attractive because the N is immune from capture by R or P. However the king is ok on h8
But if your eye is first drawn to 1.Rxh7 instead, it is a very simple puzzle, easy forced mate in 3.
Rxh7 starts a mate in 3:
1. Rh7 Kh7
2. Qh3 Kg7
3. Qh6#
taI think there is a quicker win:
1) Rxh7+ Kxh7
2) Qh3+ Kg7
3) Qh6#
It’s check mate in 3:
Rxh7+, KxR;
Qh3+, Kg7;
Qh6++
seems there is a shorter way:
1.Rxh7+ Kxf7
2.Qh3+ Kg7
3.Qh6#
1. Rxh7+ Kxh7 forced
2. Qh3+ Kg7 forced
3. Qh6#

Very simple. 🙂
1) Rxh7 Kxh7
2) Qh3+ Kg7
3) Qh6#
1. Rxh7+ Kxh7
2. Qh3+ Kg7
3. Qh6#
black’s moves are forced, so there is no way to save the game.
