The Beauty of Miniature Chess Puzzles!
Sort:
White to move and mates Black in three!
Had anyone found the key move here? It's quite deep and non-threatening!
Solution:
1.Qg1!Ke5 (Kf4 2.Rxf6+ Ke5 3.Qa1#) 2.Qf2 f5 3.Qe3#
This is a simple mate in three problem. Good luck for the solvers!

White B switchback to avoid stalemate.
You're good at solving BigDoggProblem, you have actually solved my little composition!
To: rooperi Sure, every one is welcome in posting especially in this particular forum! Thanks rooperi for posting a very nice problem of yours!
Congratulations! That's right theemathas!
Nice composition!
(This try is wrong.)
Nice try chaotic_iak, but it seems that your key move will be refuted by 1... Be2! with the threat of capturing on a2-pawn by the White King.
That one's right too! Clearly I can't do directmates. Do you have the solution?
Here is the solution chaotic_iak:
1.Rd8! only the B can move so let's try some of the possibilities:
1... Bxb7+ 2.Kxb7 then 3.Rd1#
1... Be2 2.Rd5 (2... Bb5 3.Rd1#) B to any 3.Qb2# or if 2... Kxa2 3.Ra5#
1... Bxg2 2.Qxg2 then 3.Rd1#
All other alternatives are easy to spot!
Thanks for sharing your time, have a great day!!
