3. Re7 isn't checkmate and 3. Qe7# isn't a legal move.

Well the solution is 1. Re7+ Kf8 2.Rxf7+ Kxf7( 2... Ke8 3. Re7+ Kf8 Qf6#) 3.Qf6+ Ke8 Qe7#

I can't follow any of that discussion... in what world is 2...Ke8 a move?? This means black moved the king on move 1? What?

Oh, he's still talking about 1.Bxd8 for some reason...

You could play 3.Re7# or 3. Qe7#

You already pointed out this mate in post #4, and 1cbb already told you 1.Bxd8 Qxg7 is mate in post #9, which you acknowledged in post #10...

Qf6 is not a legal move, and there's nothing on f6 to take...

Oh, 2...Ke8 in the main line.

Understanding the discussion was much harder than solving the puzzle tongue.png
