Prior to the battle, the black king lost all his army to malaria and somehow ended up on h4. Can you mate him in three moves? (the beauty of this is that no matter where the king retreats the mate in 3 still holds. I got it from my only chess textbook - it is as old as you can imagine, but the beauty of chess never gets old
Got it first time, but a great puzzle nonetheless!
