I think 1.Qc7+,Nxc7.2.Rc8#
1. Qc7 + wins! Leading to 1…Nxc7, 2. Nb6+ axb6, 3.Rd8 mate.
Qf7 check followed by ng6 check and Re1 mate…nice.
QC7+ – maybe
1.Qc7+ NxQ 2.Nb6+ pxN 3.Rd8#
simply Qc7+
1. Nc7 Nxc7
2. Rd8#
1. … Rb8
2. Nxe6 mate soon
1. … Nxg5
2. Nxa8 mate soon
1. .. Qxg5+
2. Qxg5 Nxg5
3. Nxa8
Did I miss something?

1. Qc7+ Nxc7
2. Nb6+ axb6
3. Rd8#
Simple and cute 🙂
1. Qc7+! Nxc7
2. Nb6+! axb6
3. Rd8#
1.Qc7+ for a sham sacrifice
1…., Nxc7
2.Nb6+ Kb8
(2…axb6 loses to 3.Rd8#)
3.Rd8+ Qc8
4.Rxc8#
1)Qc7+ Nc7 2)Nb6+ leads to mate
1. Qc7+ Nc7
2. Nb6+ Kb8
3. Rd8+ Qc8
4. Rc8#
1.Qc7+! Nxc7 2.Nb6+ axb6 (Kb8 3.Rd8+ Qc8 Rxc8#) 3.Rd8#
nice and easy 😉
1. Qc7+ Nxc7
2. Nb6+ axb6 or Kb8
3. Rd8#
3. Rd8#
Simple mate in 4:
1. Qc7+! Nxc7
2. Nb6+! Kb8
2. … axb6
3. Rd8#
3. Rd8+ Qc8
4. Rxc8#
1. Qc7# Nxc7
2. Nb6# axb7 (or Kb8)
3. Rd8##
Nice semi-classic tactic!
Semi-classic because of the themes involved.
-obstruction
-line clearing
1.Qc7+! Nxc7 (obstruction)
2.Nb6+ (line clearing) axb6
3.Rd8#
Morphy and Reti-like!
Since Nb6 directly doesn’t work, we need to do a Q sack first:
1. Qc7+ Nxc7 (blocks vital escape field)
2. Nb6+ axb6/Kb8
3. Rd8#
1.B-e7, will lead to mate in few moves
I would dream of a position like this. The combination is quite easy to find, probably the most of us would find it in a Blitz game 🙂
1. Qc7+! Nxc7
2. Nb6+! axb6 (or Kb8)
3. Rd8 checkmate
A three move mate composed like a chess problem, wonderful!
Greetings from Germany!
I like this smothered mate line:
1.Qc7+ Nc7
2.Nb6+ Kb8
3.Rd8+ Qc8
4.Nd7#
Just a slight twist for aesthetics:
1.Qc7+ for a sham sacrifice
1…., Nxc7
2.Nb6+ Kb8
(2…axb6 loses to 3.Rd8#)
3.Rd8+ Qc8
4.Nd7# (which is more aesthetic than Rxc8#)
