White to move. Find the best continuation for White.
Qe2, followed by Rh6.
Rh7 followed by Qf7 and Rh3#
1.Rh7+ Kxh7 2.Qxf7+ Bg7 3.Rh3#
anonymous above most logical play BUT
1.Rh7+ Kxh7 2.Qxf7+ Kh8 (or Kh6) 3.Rh3#

Rh7 if black plays g6 its instant mate Qf7. if black plays Kxh7. then its just Qf7+ then the king can run to only two squares h6 or h8 then its Rh3 mate.
I just have a question about old problems. I recently started doing these problems in the past few weeks and wondred if were allowed to post solutions for old problems from say six months ago.

This one is too easy. Sorry.
I strongly disagree with the anonymous writer who says that this problem is “too easy”. Readers vary in their chess strengths, so it’s valuable to have problems of all levels. Also, many of us who can solve difficult problems still take pleasure in the easy ones.
I think this one was incredibly hard and I got it right. I am so smart.
where is the guy who claims it was easy. LOL. Keep your opinion to yourself.
For those who want more practice. You can get a 2 week free membership on ICC. And then play against Trainingbot. it has a red square dot on the seek chart. I have gone through all the problems there a couple of times. It really helps. it has its strengths and weaknesses. But overall it helps a lot.

It says a free 7 day trial but if you refuse to join at the end it will offer you another 7 days for free. I would join by Friday and get to watch Linares for free on ICC and catch all the action live.
Susan Polgar will do a live commentary on ICC of the last round of Linares. You can hear her voice. Susan also comments there live on most important tournaments.
