COOL! Very nice. The queen showdown was a major distraction.

Sorta obvious when it's named "mate in 3" :p

That was my very first puzzle.  That was simple and beautiful. 

Man, I've got a lot to learn!  That took me a long time.

ya that's classic - sort of had to think about it for a minute - at least this wasn't one of those "mate in 3" where you spend hours thinking "what kind of combination will work here?" - you know - one of those combinations only a computer can think up - man...

The name "mate in 3" was a big tip.

Good puzzle, I admit if it wasnt named "mate in three", I would have taken the queen. :(

good one. I have looked for escape routes for black but I could not find them.

that was extremely cool, ridding of the pawn to allow for the knight to checkmate
