White to move. How should white proceed?
1p3Rpp/3nn3/3N4/7P/r1B1PQP1/q4P1K/8 w – – 0 1
I’m thinking something like 1. Bxg7+ Nxg7 2. Rf8+ might do it.
Nice and simple mate in 3:
1. Bg7! Ng7 (Kg8 2.Ne7#)
2. Rf8 with mate on the next move
B@g7 check and I’m not encouraged by Blacks Prospects.
What does the “TGIF” in “TGIF Chess Tactic” stand for? “This Game Is Famous”?
In any case, this was so easy that Susan must figure we all need to spend our time getting ready to go out on the town Friday night.
1. Bxg7+ Nxg7 (1. .. Kg8 2. Ne7#) 2. Rf8+ Rxf8 3. Qxf8#

1 Bxg7+ Nxg7
2 Rf8+
TGIF = Thank God It’s Friday
1. Bxg7+
If 1. … Nxg7, 2. Rf8+ Rxf8 3. Qxf8#
Or if 1. … Kg8 2. Ne8#
1. Bxg7+ and the most black can manage is two more moves.
1.Bxp+ NxB
2.Rf8+ Rxr
3.Qxr++
if1. . Kg8
2.Ne7 mate
1. Bxg7+ Nxg7
1…. Kg8 2Ne7#
2. Rf8+ Rxf8 3. Qxf8#
No controversy in this problem.
