1. Nxe5? Nxe5 and white is down a piece.

Common mistake when trying to recreate this pattern.

Very clever this sacrifice draws many of my opponents attention so it be a bummer if they ignored this sacrifice

As explained by Remellion, the sacrifice in the diagram is wrong. Be happy when your opponents attempt it!

The #13 puzzle is reposted every month over the past 16 years. What is interesting is that there is another mate in 3 when the black pawns play in the opposite direction (black starts from the bottom).
