This puzzle is really easy to be honest. I know I am not a high ranking player but I saw this mate almost instantly. I only just saw this however. I will have to pay more attention to you, Ansorski. I will enjoy playing your puzzles

Congratulations Gimpalersan if you solve this on the spot... maybe you should try my other chess problems. Thanks for solving.Cool

Asorski, the heading of the puzzle stated "white mates in 3". What I meant was the puzzle could be solved in 2 moves instead of 3.

As i posted in my comment (#20), 1. Kg2+ is answered by ...Kxc4!! and Black escapes either on b3 or b5.

Sorry but White cannot mate in 2.

It's definitely a mate in 3!
