Can you solve this mate in three?

What about it?

There is a few avenues to go about it! Forced mate in three regardless. I found this in a bullet game earlier.

My opponent got 2 brilliant moves against me and I still won!

Got my first Brilliant today!

Why is this a brilliant move?

Mate in 3, white to move

Black resigned, unofficially

Putting the rook here instead of the queen was a losing move by me. Can you see why?

What about it?

Went from -0.8 to +6.0 in one move. It was missed by opponent thankfully. ~1000 Blitz

Can anyone appreciate how good this move is? Thought I was losing for sure!

What about it?

Can anyone appreciate how good this move is? Thought I was losing for sure! He has his pawns bottom left ready for queen and I had 1 pawn which I fed to his king at h5 and he fell for it. Now I have his rook and will be able to take both them pawns bottom left and he can do nothing about it. Really thought I was losing that one but think I have saved myself a loss.

Just lost on time with 1 move to mate

What about it?

I had to position funny a few times since he had a knight he kept messing with me with and then had to not stalemate him when he sat next to his pawn. I couldn’t get that last piece there fast enough. In my heart it’s a win.

Am I Watching Too Much Tal?
