I'm just a beginner and sometimes I need a lot of time to see real solution, but I hope that my skills will improve over time

I solved it in the 3 seconds I looked at it from the homepage before clicking it.
Yes, shockingly obvious !
This is one from Tactics Trainer with a not very obvious first move ...
White to move & mate in 3
.
Neat puzzle,I tried checking with N first,try again,saced R only because you said it was a wierd first move,bingo,now you can check with N,and mate with B,black K only had 2 places to move with white R on b1.Thank's for bonus puzzle, I did not understand the other puzzle that started with no move's being made,do you realize how many move's there are from start that can be made,and it end's in the middle of the game,don't get it!!!

I don't know what was shocking about this one. I was expecting something dramatic like sparks flying out of my computer or a lightning strike as soon as I touched the Queen.
