Say can anyone tell me why this is not possible:

2...Kg8

3. Nxd8+  Kh8

4. Qe8+ Nf8

5. Qxf8#

or

2...Kg8

3. Nxd8+  Kf8

4. Qg7#

that was 5 moves. not 3.

Was it me or did it take five moves and not three to effect this mate?

mate in 3... errr 5

nice.....

nice

OOPs! The first scerio is wrong but follows this way

1.Qe6+Kh8

Alternate lines:

it's mate in 6 !!!!!

A lot of repeats on these puzzles lately.

wasn't that mate in 5?

Hey, the title is mate in 3, but it is mate in 5!!!

The mate in 3 title messed me up for a minute.

Mighty fine.

mate in 5

smothered

Devious!

Why does this say "Mate in 3"?

Nice and easy and had more moves than the average puzzles

I want more of those!

same ol smothered mate
