Another easy of course.
We are more entertained with harder puzzles here.

31/36 = 86% not bad

Sacking your R requires anticipating the pin: P by B.
Unless you see this pin ahead, throwing your R away doesn't compute.

1...Rh1+
2. K×h1...Qh3+ ~ g-P is pinned by a8B
3. Kg1...Q×g2#

Thank you, Sir Charles. 🙂

Many thanks

Many thanks. While 9422m may have preferred harder puzzles, some players prefer easier ones that they can actually solve. 9422m doesn't seem to be on Gameknot any more.
