Re8 is also a solution

then Qc7

end with Rc8

I will the games I am playing had such nice solutions!

Deltaquad's puzzle on page one looks like it has an alternate solution.  It looks like Nd2 should work.  I'll show it in this diagram.

It actually seems that there are several squares that the f3 knight can go to and still result in a mate in two.

easy

one

good

This was my first thought at a mate solution as well.

Decent.

Ice Queen sacrifices herself for her King. And the Ice Castles {Rooks} clean up!

nice Monday puzzle.....

awsome!

yeah

I would usually agree, but this time the objective was clearly told in the title: "Mate in 3". Thus, I think the alternative mate in 4 doesn't matter.

NICE

queen sac again...

Great!

Done in one shot!!

I love a good puzzle, but this isn't one. The reasons; a mate in one with rook to h4 is a better move, taking queen is a better move, queen move is not forced and could block check by moving to d8, knight move is needless defense and counter-productive. Please consider things like this when you post a puzzle.

At first I thought
