 But after 1.c7 Kd8 2.c8(Q) Kxc8 which move is a checkmate?

spencer1217

it all depends on the king movement this will work and will not work

spencer1217

ok i gtg but write and tell me if i did it or not!

After 2...Kc8, there is no mate in three. You must look harder.

spencer1217

ok i will look harder tom. but that will work!

Lunien

Is this the solution?
Crazychessplaya

Correct, Lunien!

spencer1217

that would depend on the king's move!!!!

 No, the mate in three as Lunien presented is independent of the King's moves.
