This is one of those positions where if someone says "hey, it's mate in 3" I find it quickly without any trouble, but I bet if I had this position  in a game I would struggle with it.

Funny thing is... I find for myself bishops are sneakier than knights. Not that i'm any great visionary of knight movements... but i find i lose sight of bishops when calculating variations quite a bit... and in my really bad losses it is often my opponents' bishops (often long range) which are key to my demise. Here i failed to remember the bishops pin on the rook (Qh8+ was the first move i considered).

Ah yes. This is from the KGA thread. Nice spot.
