Black mate in 3 puzzle

I just played it with the computer and found it not very difficult, not obvious either but it sort of reminds me of Greco's mate pattern which takes advantage of the weak rook file so I solved it rather intuitively by that example, neat puzzle to practice accuracy, better when you got enough clock to calculate so you don't miss it in following games, have a good day.
Pro tip:
The tactics trainer is great for practicing recognizing patterns like this one. Keep up the good work! ;)
Well, that's quite simple specially if you know it's mate in 3. Even without hints and even with five seconds on the clock, such mates shouldn't be missed.
This is more or less the standard, run-of-the-mill tactics for beginners. Belongs to the basic thousand chunks relevant for chess players. Ride on!
