Just tell me frankly how many of u solved this in one go?

Funny discussion about the numbers of the mating combination. Is it 3, 4 or 5? IMO it is in this particular situation mate in 4, not in 5 and certainly not mate in 3.

It is not a mate in 3, because you will have to take the sacrifice of the knight into account. It clears a field for the black king by which he might escape. The sacrifice of the knight outweighs the sacrifice of the white queen. Hence, you will have to calculate this move to be sure of the combination.

It is not a mate in 5 imo because that is the computorized answer to the question: how many moves can black legally make before he is mated? Off course would it be a mate in 5 if it was created as a puzzle, but this is a position in a game. In the game both players know that the counterattack starting with the queen has no impact. They would not consider that move in this combination. Qf2:+ is an obsolete move.

If it was a puzzle, mate in 5, coming from a game, mate in 4.

By the way, I tried to find a mate in 3, but I could only find a mate in 4 and did not see the counterattack of the queen. At my first analysis of the position I saw that the defense of white was very good, never leading to a successful counterattack of black. The second puzzle was very easy, because the rook was undefended.

I also solved both in one shot.

The first one I would not solve it in real game where u dont't know 

there is a mate in there.

In fact this leads me to another question.

Why can I solve puzzles harder than people with a rating higher than mine and still can't improve my own rating? I guess I lose in other moments of the game.

And what is the meaning of solving in one go?

can anybody on this cite explain?

To answer your last question...It probably is a combination of your answer, the fact that you couldn't solve this in a real game, and the fact that you probably don't know how to set up combinations in your games.

I'm a very ordinary player and it took me about 30 seconds on the first one, and 5 seconds on the second one.              whats the first answer ?

In my opinion this is a mate in two. 1. Qxf6+ Kh6 2. Rh3#

Because a queen sac on the first move is prettier.

1)mate in 3

Puzzle 1, I could only find mate in 4, 1.Nf5+...Kh8, 2.Qxg6...hxg6, 3.R h3...Nh6, 4.Rxh6#, Puzzle 2 found mate in 1.Bf5#.Puzzle 1 stopped at move three,but no move's were refused,it said mate in three before puzzle,so who is wrong?

2)Mate in one.
