<<<< Comment contains spoiler >>>>
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,
Oliver

Too easy:
1. Rb8 Kb8 (only move)
2. Qa7 Kc8
3. Qa8#
1.Rxb8+ Kxb8
2.Qa7+ Kc8
3.Qa8#
1. Rxb8+ Kxb8
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.
2. Qa7+ Kc8
3. Qa8#
1. Rxb8+ Kxb8 (forced)
2. Qa7+ Kc8 (forced)
3. Qa8#
what am i missing? this seems too easy.
1Rxb8+ Kxb8
2Qa7+ Kc8
3Qa8#
A simple mate in 3:
1. Rxb8+ Kxb8
2. Qa7+ Kc8
3. Qa8#
it seems, this would be a checkmate in 3:
1. Rxb8+ Kxb8
2. Qa7+ Kc8
3. Qa8#

1. Rxb8+ Kxb8

RxN KxR

1.Nd3!! prepares to transfer the knight to the excellent outpost c5.
Rxb8+…
Rxb8+ …
1. Rxb7+, followed by 2. Qa7+, 3. Qa8#
1. Rxb8+! Kxb8 2. Qa7+ Kc8 3. Qa8#
1. RxN+ KxR forced
2. Qa7+ Kc8 forced
3. Qa8#

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?
