    Because of the number of moves, this puzzle is generally thought of and categorized as ‘difficult.’ Actually, it was easy… just look for the moves that give the opponent only one option.

    I don’t see anyone discussing ne4 to f6. It’s a win in maximum of 3 moves

    There are 4 scenarios:
    1. Ne4 to f6 .. (qf6 or pf6 or kh8)
    2. Qh7 mate

    The 4th scenario is black rf6
    2. Qh7 .. kg8
    3. Qh8 mate

    Please correct me if I’m wrong
