Stared at it a long time!

I made the same mistake bunny and max did and spent several minutes trying to find a mate involving 1.Ne8/Nh5 before I saw the back rank theme.

Congrats to Antonio Medina Garcia for setting up this mate in a game against a strong opponent!

A nice finish

i can understand why bunnyrabbitz wanted to use the knight first because after all bunnies do hop but i had to look at it and then saw rook moves was the only forcing move really.
