This puzzle may not be too difficult for most of you, but I had to post this because it actually happened to me in a game today. This is mate in 3

I would have done it this way from an aesthetical point of view. Its mate in 2 with a queen promotion (see move list).

I must admit I'm puzzled why you did not promote to queen.  Great play thou.

As I said the position was a vague memory but I do remember that if I promoted to queen it would be stalemate, thus meaning the bishop was on e3. I apologize for my bad memory.
