Forced Mate in 3! MASTER Difficulty

Great puzzle promote g pawn to knight.

nice one..

Exactly, Yunesh! I changed the color so that others won't see the answer. Thanks for understanding.

I gave up.

Amazing, super-tough puzzle!

took me about 5 min to find

It is a super tough puzzle, I'll admit, wolverine96. I couldn't find the answer because I was overlooking one move...

Kakamou12, I can't believe it, well I could, but wow... 5 minutes is incredible. I can't believe you even thought of considering the first move.

 Yeah, LOL. I tried every other promoting possibility, but I didn't think a knight could work.

I just took a little walk and then suddenly the solution came to me.

Just kidding. I think I've seen a somewhat similar pattern in another puzzle and there were not many moves to consider, so I think 5 minutes is a fair time. The composition really is pretty though.

I literally spent about an hour and a half trying to figure out the puzzle, I always kept thinking I was overlooking something with the Knight. So I tried different moves with it and involving it to mate the King in the corner but that dark-cornered square always annoyed me so much.

I now know I should consider different promotions before attempting to beat the chess puzzles, Kakamou12.

I found many ways to mate in 4. This was my favorite one:

I guess I just like that knight/bishop coordination...

lol it is mate in 3 not four but this is nice too

there one more mate in 4 nd5+ Ka2 nc3+ ka1 Ba3 b5 Bb2#

Nd3 a2 g8 queen g7 a2 queen b2?

That's 4 moves. The topic header says "Mate in 3".

g8=n pawn to b5 e7 king takes knight on b4 and knight c6 mate?

Yep!

YEP

That was hard
