Well, the obvious move in 5 seconds is Qf7- that f8 rook is overworked trying to protect both the f7 pawn and the back rank.

Q#f7 check looks simple enough.

This was another 3-second tactic, right? 1. Qxf7+ Rxf7 2. Re8+ Rf8 3. Bd6+ Kh8 4. Rxf8#
That one took me less than 3 seconds. Nice one.

Can you give a hint?

Susan, these last few have been real easy ones – can we please have some a bit more challenging, and if you could throw some end game puzzles in between. Thank you!

It’s pretty obvious that the solution must be checkmate, and that a series of checks is the most likely way to get there.
Given that, the solution presents itself very quickly:
Qxf7+!
1. Qxf7 + Rxf7
2. Re8 + Rf8
3. Be6 + Kh8

Looks like mate in four to me:cues
1. Qxf7+! Rxf7
2. Re8+ Rf8
3. Be6+ Kh8
4. Rxf8#
this is much easier…
