Just got this puzzle on Lichess and there's a gorgeous reply to this check threat from white.

E2 to E5, rook takes bishop, discovered check and mate?

[-] propter_hog@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

Yep! :-) It's an admittedly easy puzzle, but the follow-up of a check with a discovered check that's also mate was really beautiful.

It really is, I agree!

What level is this puzzle?

[-] golden_zealot@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago

It would be low. Black only has 3 possible moves and one is checkmate, so I don't think it would be rated above 900 or so.
