White to move and mate in 4.
1. Re5+ Kxe5 ( 1. … Kf6 2. Qe7# ) 2. Qe7+ Kf5 3. Qg5+ Ke4 4. Bd3#
I saw a rook sacrifice at once. Then I had to think where to put my queen. 2 minutes 14 seconds.
Ditto james
My experience was like Alena’s- I saw the right rook move instantly and pursued it- the main time issue for me is that I was a bit too enamored with the illegal move of 2.f4- wasted a full minute on that before realizing that the damned pawn was pinned. All in all, I spent at least 3 minutes.
