Agreed, knightmare2!

I don't see why this had such a low solver rate. The first move is a check, the second is a standard Q sac and the last is mate.

What's so hard about this puzzle that the score was so low?

Solve Rate

People may have tried the Q sac first and allowed the K to escape being mated in 3.
