Ritual...
A bit tricky to get the sequence at one point..but sequential simplicity all the same..

Very Good One
Material disadvantage and very close to being mate. Yet at excellent combination saves the game.

easy???
its just easy because you know its mate in 4, but really hard to see in a real game, very nice 1

In a real game, taking the Black Rook with the Knight, giving check and stopping the immediate mate threat would appeal to everyone and probably be found.

There is always this debate about whether you would actually see a mate like this in a real game. To be honest, I find the puzzles quite easy but these mates harder to find in real games, and worse still if I'm defending. Why don't we get puzzles such as avoid mate in 3? Is that even possible?

What a great idea for a book > avoid this mate! kingdewar may know of such a book but if not someone should write it!
