Another nice Rook sac to allow entry for the Queen: Rh8+ forces Kxh8 (or else Qh6 mates), followed by Qh6+ and Rc8. Phil
Rh8
1. Rh8+!
Rook H8 and the hilarity ensues. Is chess really this easy?
1. Rh8+ 2. Qh6+ and 3. Rc8+ should do it
1. Rh8+, Kxh8, 2. Qh6+ followed by Rc8 mate next move.
Too easy.
1. Rh8+, KxR
2. Qh6+, Kg8
3. Rc8+, Ne8

Thats an easy one: Rh8+ !Kh8 Qh6+ Kf8 Rc8+… and black would have resigned by now… The knight can still interpose, but only to be checkmated the next move !
This is an easy one.
