Hello everyone, Asorski at your service!
The right move is:
1. Ke2!!
And now: 1...Bb7/Bxf5 2. Rg8+ Bc8 3. Rxc8#,
1...Be6 2. Nb8+ Bd5 3. Bxd5#
1...Bd7 2. Nb8+ Bc6 (2...Kxa7 3. Qg1#) 3. Bxc6#
1...Ba6+ 2.Nab5!!
And now: 2... Bxb5+ 3. axb5#
2... Bc8 3. Ra7#
2... Bb7 3.Nc7#!
The amazing contruction of this problem makes a solver think that this is very easy to solve but it's the other way around!
The hidden resources at black's disposal is noted here. The 1...Bd7! followed by 2...Kb7!! move prevents any attempt by white to mate in 3. Also, the 1...Be6 move defends g8 and threatens 2..Bd5+.
Lastly, the problemist uses more than 16 white pieces to show his idea, but a King's move does it! This makes the puzzle computer-proof, free from cheaters.
My hat's off to the composer of this amazing problem!
This is one of the most 'difficult and easiest' 3-movers I've seen in years!
the line again
1. Ke2 Bd7

Yes, computer couldn't solve it because it has more than 16 pieces.
But if you remove the pieces you think "useles", it also won't work.
Because the solution given by the computer is unapplicable after we put the pieces back to the board.
Thanks chessolite! I used to solve chess problems when I was a kid.
Today, I also make chess puzzles too! Check out my original chess problems at More Puzzles Section.
Another puzzle please?

Still, i think you did not solved the puzzle! after 2.Nb8+ black can also answer with 2. ... Bc6 --> after 3. Bxc6 ; Kxa7 you need more than 3 moves..
the other option is not working because you did not considered black moving to b7 in the second and a6 in the third move.. still not beeing checkmated
look at comment no.888
look at comment 86 or 88the whole correct line is given

the coment bevor (#91) was crap ;) Ke2 has to be answered with the line i wrote in comment #94
1. Ke2 Ba6+
2. Nab5 Bb7
3. Nc7#
Is it over?
Anyone agree with 1. Ke2 ?
ya i think it is. I loved this forum. best for me.
then does this solve the puzzle?
No gentlemen, I re-said what Asorski meant.
I think black prefer 1. ... Bd7
1. Ke3 Bd7
Still I can't solve this myself.
