Yes, the mate in 3 is easy. But suppose you're required to move the knight first. Would you find the mate in 7 after Nc5, or the mate in 14 after Nc7, or the mate in 22 after Nb4?

why hassle yourself on mate in 7 when you can mate in 3

here is another one, not too hard, white to move and win

It makes a nice two-part puzzle.

1. Find the quickest mate if the bishop moves first.

2. Find the quickest mate if the knight moves first.

But what if 1. - Kg8 ? The black king isn't forced to capture the rook...

After 2.Bd5+ Kf8 3.Rh1, see if you can figure out the win for White.

OK, I got it! 1... Kg8 / 2. Bd5+ Kf8 / 3. Kc2 a1=Q / 4. Rh1 Qa2 / 5. Rd1 Ke7 / 6. c5

White to move.  Black to MATE IN 7.  Find the Tactic.  Solve the puzzle.

My opponent played Rxd5...I responded Qxb2#.  However,  if Rxd5 was not played,  Black is totally winning with MATE IN 7...

And White only has one move (Rb1) to hold out for 7 moves.

Maybe that's the secret.  If you post the puzzle twice maybe Chess.com will actually use it for one of their daily puzzles.Smile
