From Michael,
I don’t know why Susan doesn’t give such puzzles for the 10-second series 🙂
1. Rh7+ Kxh7 (1… Kg6 2. Qxf7#)
2. Qxf7+ Kh8 (or Kh6)
3. Rh3#
Simple, nice, easy.
1Rh7 & 2Qf7 mates
1. Rh7+ Kxh7 (Kg3, 2. Qf7#)
2. Qf7+ Kh6 (or Kh8, same result)
3, Rh3#
1. Rh7+ Kxh7 2. Qxf7+ leads to mate by 3. Rh3.
1. Rh7+, KXh7 (not taking the rook with Kg6 loses immediately to QXf7#) 2. QXf7+, Bg7 (or alternatively Kh8 or Kh6) 3. Rh3#
1. Rh7+ Kxh7
2. Qxf7+ Bg7/Kh8/Kh6
3. Rh3#
or
1. … Kg6
2. Qe4+ Nf5
3. Qxf5#
1.Rh7+ Kxh7
[if ..Kg6 2.Qxf7#]

This type of problem has become stereotyped.
