    An interesting "sub-puzzle" is what was Black's Last Move?

    Assuming that Black does not normally miss one move mates, then there can only be one possible last move!

    Must be bishop from b4 to a3.

    panicked for a sec when i saw the knight move. I thought the king would take the bishop. Either way was mate in 3 I guess

    True, but white keeps black in check until the checkmate, keeping black from making that move.

    Why wouldn't the black king or rook take the white bishop? 

    it would still end up the same...

    this was why Black should not be given a chance. White did this by checking Black twice and then checkmate on the third move.

    this is a pretty easy puzzle, since the first move must be a check, or the white King is toast.

    Wouldn't this actually be 1.....Qxb2#+  ?

    It's no use, it's a mate in 1 either way.
