Good job finding mate in three starting with 1. Rb3. Now try finding the more difficult checkmate in three involving en passant.

Good guess, but that is not correct. Remember that there is an en passant capture involved. It can be on move 2 or 3.

Ah, you're in the class of guys who understand nothing about anything. You think that you can change the chess rules by giving "hints". Nobody cares about your "hints" whether they are about a promotion, a queen sacrifice or an en passant capture. People here play according to the rules of chess and they will play any move permitted by the rules to reach the stated goal. So, 1. Rb3!! is a brilliant move checkmating in 3 as requested in post #1!

No, the goal is to find the most difficult solution to the puzzle, which is the one that I hinted at. Rb3 is indeed a solution to the puzzle, but it's not the one I am looking for. Can you please stop trying to say anything you can to insult my puzzles? Just because I'm looking for a specific combination isn't a reason for you to complain about anything you can.

My goal is always to find the quickest solution.

It's up to the composer to make me find a difficult solution.

If there's an easier solution that's just as fast as a difficult one, the composer is to blame for not preventing it from working.
