 Hello,

according to the engine, in this position the white can checkmate in 3 moves. Anyone has ideas how to do it?

Thank you

I've found one way to checkmate but it's not completely forced. White queen a4 check, king d8, bishop e6, queen d7.  It sure is an interesting puzzle. I can't find a forced one. Gl for other to find it

What if instead of KB6, pawn to B5 to block the check. what then?

Amazing!

What ELO score is needed to be able to see such a continuation?

I don't know if you were mocking me or not but it is also a mate after queen takes pawn. So it's another mate you didnt mention.
