Nice and easy! 1.Rh4 a4 2.Rh1 gxh1Q 3.Qxh1#

Based on #1 (puzzle)
White was able to defeat Black through force checkmate. At least, there are 8 first move by the white to make it happen, as follow :

1.Rb4    (mate by Qb7)
2.Qh7    (mate by Qb7)
3.Qg7    (mate by Qb7)
4.Qb2     (mate by Qb7)

5.Qd4    (mate by Qd8)
6.Qf6     (mate by Qd8)

7.Qc3     (mate by Qc8)
8.Qxb8+ (mate by Rc8)


Ok, for example, I will show you 2 of 8 force checkmate above.

Another way ?

There are lots of ways. Isn't the point of a 'mate in 3' puzzle that there is only one solution?

Why look for a more convaluted method than the one I've given you?

Alright ill give you the anwser. First Rh4 a4 2. Rh1 gxh1 3. Qxe1#

That is *an* answer.

This thread might as well have been called "guess what number I am thinking of".

I've given a lot of options to solve the problem. My solution has the highest variation than solutions that have been offered by other players.

Alright this puzzle was kind of difficultXD

To find one answer. Its like finding a pin in a hay stack

Yes, its very difficult like finding a pin in a hay stack. LoL

However, according to me that all solutions are correct. None of the solutions could be considered the most correct, because at the beginning of the thread, you don't give clear limits and information about the requirements that must be met.

chessredpanda,

That doesn't really work, black can play 2...a4
