    I don't see it mentioned anywhere so I'll repeat: It's mate in 3.

    But that solution isn't a forced mate in 3. Black can capture on b5 after 1. Rf1 and has a couple of escape squares. What I saw was:

    1. Qd3+  Kb4

    2. Rh4+  Ka5

    3. Qa3+ Kxb5

    4. Qa4++

    nsatya, 1. Rf1 Kxb5 2. Rb1+ Kc4 3. Qd3# If the king goes to the a-file at move 2, then 3. Qa8# is mate.
