My gamble paid off

Can you see the mate in 3 my opponent fell for? I played white.

Excuse me Mr. "Analysis" coach, but I had a COOLER way of getting checkmate. 😎

I thought, wow, a fork, and then..

MWAHH HAH HAA HAA HAA

Finally…

Question about those puzzle

Hello everyone! I've found this puzzle on lichess. The solution Is >Rxg6+ to sacrifice the rook so you can capture the black one< But why Is >Re5+< wrong?

misfortunate missclick

i’m stuck on the daily challenge, i tried moving my rook and bishop but it all fails

How is this brilliant

There’s 2 beautiful mates here. Who can find them?

Possible brillint move?

Why this isn’t labelled as brilliant but only great?

It’s WTP, mate in one from Polgar’s puzzle book. How did black even get into this position? I can’t think of any legal move that preceded this.

I know it’s just a puzzle to make you see the mate, but I sometimes like to imagine what preceded it, so I can learn to recognise the necessary setup
