Excellent!

Great one.

easy

because if rook takes the knight queen can move to d8, Rxd8 and  and then back rank matew/ rook.

if knight takes then also mate. 

Okay, after looking through 13 pages, I couldn't find where this question has been asked/answered. Can't black get out of the forced mate by playing 2... Ke8 3. Rxd5 (threatening 3... cxd5 4. Qe7#), and then 3... Rxc8 4. Rxh5 Bxh5 5. Bxh5?  Yes, black trades a knight, bishop, and queen for a knight and rook.  But they're still in the game.

BRILLIANT PUZZLE!! 

Well played, thanks for an excellent puzzle.

Beatiful.  Made me LOL.

Smothered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

awesome

Wouldn't someone just most likely take your horse with either the rook or the bishop?

smothered mate.

i thought the solution was interesting but I really dont understand the logic behind some of first moves.  Is the solution really absolutely the best moves or are some of these puzzles more demonstrative/interesting than tactical?

smothered mate

What about 2... Ke8?

Tough ... but fun!

hard puzzle, great!

This puzzle is so cute.
