I found this puzzle to be quite difficult. My initial concerns on the first move were how to avoid Rg1#, and none of those solutions lead to a mate of any kind. But, it is true, once I saw the first move the solution became obvious.

Re Puzzle #10

Thanks to the remarks given in the description, I could hit on QxN + in less than a minute. Position is intriguing though!

the line of moves could be alternated

e.g bishop h6+ , then check with the queen

Sacking the queen not an easy thing to do and could easily be over looked, especially with threatened mate by black. Took me awhile to see mate by white.

Indeed! I was one of the 35% so far who missed that (along with dimi1979)
