I nailed the first one, but, my tired brain messed up on the last 2. They were readily good, though! I was wondering why the queen didn't take the rook in the second puzzle, but, then I realized that it just leads to another skewer!
As for the 3rd, I could have seen mate in a real game, but, I wouldn't have seen it. I would have gone Nf7+. If Black takes, we get a rook, and, if not, smoother mate! But, they may very well see that and sac the rook. Then, we're in for checkmate. 😢
Great puzzles, Jared! Thanks.
