Ok, this I think is a tough one despite so few pieces remaining on the board.

White to move, find the best move:

Missing a piece?

Haha, sorry:

I'd play f7 but no doubt that's why my rating is terrible.

actually I belive f7 is the correct move.. the follow up is the hard part though.
1. f7 Rf8
2. gxh7 Rh2
3. Bf2! Rcxc2
4. Rg2!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Raxg2
5. hi=Q Rxc7
6. Qe8+
1-0


4... Rcxb2
5. f1=Q Rxa2
6.Qf4+
I don't think black giving check changs anything.

Edit: fixed the (chess) grammar :p

That is actually the correct answer :) (disregarding small inaccuracies in square names)

I did not find Bf2 and I thought it was a really beautiful puzzle in its simplicity since the ideas are very simple, but it takes a really well-trained eye to see Bf2 continuation.

Your turn Hennns.

Black goes

1. ... Rf2+

2. Ke1 / Kd3 Rf3 pinning & winning knight

correct

White to move, mate in 3.

Rxa8 Kxa8
Qxa6#
I'm used to playing noobs ;) this would happen in a typical game. No idea for the actual mate in three solution though.

1. Nxa5+ Ka7
2. Rxa8+ Kxa8
3. Qxa6+ Kb8
4. Qb7#

@GA: 1. Rxa8 could be met by Nc5
