I saw this great puzzle at a norwegian chess site. Post your solution!
White to move:
NM OmarCayenne
I give up.

I posted this like 30 seconds ago or something :-]
Sticktoitiveness is not my middle name.
How did you earn the NM title?
psyduck

1.Nf3 h3
2.Ne3 h2

I didn't (I sent away for it with cereal boxtops).

Hm... been studying this for over an hour and a half... Kc6 seems to do the trick (not sure, though). :)
If that is the solution, then the title is a misnomer.
That is indeed the solution. Good work!
1...Kg5 2.Nf3+ is easier, otherwise flawless analysis!
Ends with 3.Nhf3 in the critical line.
To me "3-mover" means mate in 3. I'm pretty sure it would to most other people as well.
Oh, sorry about that. It was draw in 3.
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.
