White to move and mate in 3.
1) Rxg7+, Kxf5 [If Kh5, g4#]
2) g4+, Ke6 (the only move)
3) Rd6#
1.Rg7+ Kf5
2.e4+ Ke6
3.Rd6#
2. … Bxe4
2 minutes
About 30 seconds for me- 1.Rg7 is really the only consideration since neither knight check advances a goal of mate in 3, and pretty much all the other moves are obvious with black’s forced replies.
35 seconds for me. I always set a stopwatch.
These are much easier than last year’s.
