Now forget about knight forks and discovered attack on the Black queen. White cannot afford to be side-tracked here. The White knight on e5 keeps the Black rook on e8 from checking the a1 king with Re1+, and the White bishop, as long as it lasts on g1, supports the White queen check on a7.
The problem with puzzles IIZZZZ…that because they are really “Only” moves…they are rather simple to solve. When you have a position in front of you in practicle chess…nobody says…”You have a move to play and win!” You look harder when you Know there is something there and perhaps people who compose these problems might like to consider that. R#N (b8) looks pretty simple….I mean…what else is white going to play?

I some times struggle with puzzles, but, I’m getting better.
I solved this one quite quickly.
Spoiler below;
1. Rb8 KxRb8 2. Qa7(Protected by Bishop) Kc8 3. Qa8# 1-0
All Blacks moves are forced.
Thanks for the puzzle,
