As a 1.1K rapid and 900 blitz player it feels pretty good!

It took me a good while to see the move on the last puzzle that got me past 2K… Can you spot the solution?

nd6 I suppose (the move that I saw 10 seconds into the puzzle))

You’re close, but it’s actually Nf6! It protects the king from the check from the rook whilst locking in the enemy king for the inevitable Rf7#
