Just a simple medium puzzle. Dont post answers, please.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It should work, you may get an OBVIOUS move wrong, but it shouldnt effect the scheme of the pattern. Try to find this pattern on the internet, its helpful to know you can win a few games like this.

2. Rxh7+ Kg8 3. Rh8# is an alternative solution.

Why, I saw mate a little different.  4 moves

I see the 4 move mate, this is a BIT different line. Assume there is a rook at f8. then youll need all 5 moves.

ADK's three-mover is the fastest solution. If there were a rook on f8 instead of a knight, the three-move mate would still work the same way.

Noticed a slight error in the puzzle. Please dont post, it will make the answer obvious if you say it. Sorry about the restriction.

Yeah, I guess the black knight covering e5 is the error Fury noticed.

I don't know exactly what this is supposed to mean, but ADK got it right. This is the fastest solution.

The first puzzle is not correct. I mean there are shorter variants mating in 3 and 4 moves. Adk's solution is the correct one.
