Here is an absolutely fantastic puzzle that arrived within a game. I haven't used computers, but I've tried playing this out many times and I can't see a way for white to avoid checkmate with the (2.5 pnt + pieces) in play here for black still on the board at checkmate.If someone wants to computer analyze this, please do so and share of the outcome.
