(Bonus Puzzle Inside!) Today's Daily Puzzle: Double Check Forcing Moves

Happy Monday everyone! We start out the week nice and easy. In today's puzzle notice that white has threats to open up the h-file and also deliver a double-check on e7. But move order matters. Always be on the look out for the move order that gives your opponent the least options. It also makes it easier to calculate! Should white take the knight now to open up the h-file or wait until later?

The moral of the story? Double-check (pun absolutely intended) all forcing moves first! How did you do today? Comment below!
