Hello!
This is a "mate in 4" puzzle". Official solution is 1.Qxg7+ Kxg7 2.Nxe6+ Kg6 3.Ne7+ Kh6 4.Bg7+.

But I find also 1 Nxe6 !! ...and it's a mate in 3 !!.
Am i wrong? what am I missing?
thank you :-)

Nothing. White’s position is so overwhelming that several moves lead to mate, but the Q-sac is the prettiest.
