1. hxg5+

  • Var 1: 1. ...Kh8
    2. Rg8+  Kh7

    2. Rg7+  Ke8 (forced)
    3. Rcxd7# or Rgxd7#

I'd give the difficulty "novice", it is extremely simple if you do know the rules of atomic and the most basic ideas.

Not too hard really, but yeah, quite a good puzzle.

I wish they had variants puzzles, just like the chess puzzles on the puzzles section and the homepage.
