Black had 3 possible responses to 1. Nf6+
1. ... Qxf6 2. Rxe8# (black's king cannot escape nor capture the white rook)OR1. ... Kh8 2. Rxe8# (black's king cannot escape nor capture the white rook) OR1. ... Kf8 2. Rxe8# (black's king cannot escape & white's rook is protected)
Thius puzzle is not easy. I missed the first page trying to figure out why the black queen sat there without taking the knight. Is she one of those politicians who seem to do nothing but smile to cameras? Puzzle is inbaccurate since the wueen taking knight would have been a better amswer to the first move by the knight.
If 1. ... Qxf6, then 2. Rxe8# -- black's king is trapped in the classic back-row mate.

When a person says "first" and "easy", I can't express how much I admire them.
