The document discusses three chess positions and their solutions: 1. A position where white plays 1.Rxd8! deflecting black's queen, followed by 2.Rd1 and 3.Rd7! for another deflection and winning the exchange. 2. A position where white plays 1.Bxd5+ deflecting black's defender, opening a file for a back rank mate in 3 moves. 3. A position where black plays the move 1...Bg2+ deflecting white's rook, followed by queen checks and a knight fork for checkmate.
