An interesting puzzle I found.  Can you spot the mate for white?  I would probly rate this problem in the 1600's.

First one to post the line gets props...(oh boy.)  I don't like putting in the puzzle mode because you have a tendancy to give up too soon and you click help and say something to yourself like "oh yeah, I totally would of done that if I looked at it for 1 more second!"  well BS!  You probly would need at least another 30-60 seconds.  So LOOK at it.

Sorry I fixed the extra bishop that was on f1.  I also made it sand color which, I think, makes it harder (and hurts your eyes!)

Incredible, Thundercracker, but what isthe point of sacrificing the second rook? Why can't you attack immeditely with the queen after the first sacrifice?

Oh, I get it. To prevent the king from running with Ke7.
