Why not Mate in 1?
Mate in 3
! - the editor for position is crap - you need a back button to correct mistakes rather than keep starting from the begining (the pawn on f7 is not meant to be there). Also the moves I programmed are not here - another anoyance.
I think this crap is not woth the effort to get what you want on the system.
I am not going to bother correcting the picture or getting the interactive bit working - view the position with out the pawn on f7.
it is very similar to the solution I wanted to show. Thanx.
My solution starts with Bd5. The animation program anoys me - so I am not going to show it. But you clever people can work it out.
1.Bd5 Rdf7 (1...Rff7 2.Re8#; 1...Rxd5 2.Qxg7#) 2.Re8 any move 3.Qg7# is indeed mate in three.
Another possible solution is 1.Re8 Rxb7 (1...Rxe8 2.Qxe8# has already been mentioned; 1...Rdf7 2.Bd5 brings us back to the line above) 2.Qh8+ Kxh8 (2...Kf7 3.Qxf8#) 3.Rxf8#
1.Re7 does not work: 1...Rxe7 2.Qxe7 Rf7 and there is no mate next move, although White will still win.
Here is what I believe to be the solution:
Rf7 DOESN'T work, no matter what you say =P i think anyway.
and JustcallmeSir, the animation puzzle thingy is quite rubbish i agree, but its doable to me, you just gotta get use to it. theres a back button, its called delete move. and yes you can't edit the puzzle... so you can't take away the f7 pawn. again something i have mentioned tons of time that chess.com needs to fix.

Your delete move bit might be correct - but once u have clicked 'Continue' or what ever it is called - so u go on to the options page etc - there is no back button. So if u go off the board set up page and there is a mistake - it is a pain to change it.
Find a way for white to mate in 3 moves
