i think that the first one was better than the last

Nope. I thought so at first too, but then I saw 3. ...Qxh1+. The discovered check in this particular double check is actually redundant - the vital piece that delivers mate is the promoted pawn.
I know it's just an irritant, but 2... Qd1+ prevents mate in 3, and is why I spent a long time over this puzzle.
thanks doodinthemood I really appreciate your point...
No probs. It's not really a biggy. The pattern you've shown is a useful one to know. When composing problems it's good to check all checks though. I have a tendency to smother the white king in pieces when I compose. It's amateur, but it works

Terrible puzzle. After h7 black plays Qd1+ and there is no mate in three
There's no mate in three after 2... Rg7 either.
You're wasting people's time Ray... a mate in three puzzle has to mean mate in three.
nice puzzle. its not mate in 3 but still nice one :)
thanks Adryan_18, Im trying to define here the virtue of understanding puzzle that there are many cases that you will not rely only on what is given in the board..
