    Can someone tell me why this puzzle is mate in 6? When I looked at it I saw this variation. Looks like black can last 7 moves.

    You're assuming 3. Qxe6+, but if 3.Rxe4 Re8 4.Rxe6 Rxe6 5.Qxe6+ Kh8 6.Qe8#
    1-0
    and we're still at mate in six

    Why not 3. Qg8 Rxg8 4. Nf7#

    Am I missing something?

    Yes, 3. Qg8 Kxg8. The Lady will be taken by the king, not by the rook

    The alternative mate in 6 is more difficult and more interesting.

    I just did not see the first move, but the rest was just Philidor's Legacy.

    why can't you intitially block white queen with rook? this doesn't necessarily lead to a mate... although you would lose your queen eventually.

    You'll find the answer to that question on the seventh page.
