    Hm... been studying this for over an hour and a half... Kc6 seems to do the trick (not sure, though).  :)

    That is indeed the solution. Good work!

    1...Kg5 2.Nf3+ is easier, otherwise flawless analysis!

    If that is the solution, then the title is a misnomer.


    Ends with 3.Nhf3 in the critical line.

    Oh, sorry about that. It was draw in 3.

    To me "3-mover" means mate in 3.  I'm pretty sure it would to most other people as well.


     Well, yes, of course that's what it normally means, but after maybe 5 minutes of analysis it was pretty clear that the best White could hope for in such a position was a draw (and for quite a while, even that seemed impossible). I sort of discounted the title at that point. Laughing
