    nf6 would work as well wouldn't it? For the third move if you move the h knight the queen would put him in checkmate.

    Nic puzzle, although I do not know why it took me about 5 minutes to find out that you need to capture the rook for a pawn promotion.

    interesting, but black was milti-screwed to begin with

    I always prefer a queen once pawn reaches the last row. Knight was the better choice here.

    looks simple, but not so easy to forsee the 3rd move in real game

    Kf6 is also valid, no?

    No, queen is hitting that square. Do you have your glasses on?

    Nf6 would have have check-mated just as well as Rf8. Smile

    what about Nhf6 after Kh8. that should be mate

    Rf8# is the correct solution because it's in only 3 moves but I prefer the Nhf6 move - it seems more elegant.
