liked this one and got it correct. seems i am starting to get the hang of them.  dont thinki would never have seen this in a real situation though.

nice  puzzle

 1. Nxf7? Rxf7  2. Qxf7?? Qxg2 checkmate, so White not only fails to win in the required number of moves, but loses right on.

Damn, you are right. Got taken away by those two knights I guess. Thanks!

ok so what do you do if the rook takes the queen on step 2?

Pretty simple, but not bad.

thumbs up

BLACK PLAYS   3 ... Qd1  Mate       3... Rxc8 is wrong move

a good one

Good puzzle

BLACK PLAYS   3 ... Qd1  Mate       3... Rxc8 is wrong move

easy

Exactly.  I knew a matricide was the first order of business.  :p

THIS is why I love knights even in endgame XD

at first glance i thought "smothered mate? Then once the Queen sac rule came into play, i saw the next 4 moves were forced for Black. Nice.

First?

lol sucks to be black, so close

i agrre...
