Here is another puzzle of mine.  :)  It is probably a little easier than my other one.  There are other options for move 3 that will work.

good puzzle but it's difficult to guess move #3. the application should accept all correct waiting moves. it's annoying to try all waiting moves to find the one that you've suggested.

 I agree.  :)  I am not sure if it is possible.  There is one idea that might make the puzzle accept other solutions so I might try it that I didn't think of at the time.  Maybe if I enter multiple lines in the solution then it might take other possibilities?  I will try this and see if it works.  :)

The third move was a little annoying because virtually any move worked but nice puzzle.

 third move varies as long as knight does not move and squares around black king are attacked.

What's the deal with those doubled pawns on the g and h file? I guess black was a patzer...

Great , I almost though for 15 minutes (without moving the pieces) but could'nt get the waiting move( the 3rd one). I got it when I moved the pieces at the third attempt.

Yeah, I wish that the puzzle would accept other possible variations (3rd move).  :)  When you get to the 3rd move you can click 'help' and it will play it.  That is if you understand what is coming next.  :)
