With black a rook ahead, this shows the importance of position.

The only problem with this puzzle is if the king doesnt take the rook(not forced to), but the knight does instead. Then Black wins!

I love this mate as the Ice Queen gets to exert her will due to the pinned pawn.

Poor little fella.

Key to this puzzle = rook sac, pin the pawn to the king with the bishop so it can't take the queen, checkmate
