Mate in 3 - puzzle for intermediate players

Sort:
MrFrankenstein

Hello everyone,

I created the following puzzle for intermediate chessplayers (between 1500 Elo and 1700 Elo).

The puzzle is an easy mate-in-3, and is taken from my last game.

Even though it's quite simple, the solution requires some creativity and understanding of the position as well as good tactics skills.

Hope you'll enjoy my puzzle!

Yours,

Mr. Frankenstein
