♞Puzzle of the week

White to move.
Mate in one?

Every week our students bring the best puzzle from class. Solve it, then try it on your parents. Post your answer on our Instagram @wechess876.

Reveal the answer

1. Rd8#, a back-rank mate. Black's own pawns on f7, g7 and h7 trap the king, and nothing can block on e8 or f8.
