Well done Mr.Mip, but i am not surprised u solved easily since you are a great chess puzzle master. The reason why there are more than 16 white pieces is to confuse solver.

It was old game in indo, pay Rp 2000/try for fee (1 us$ =Rp 10000) and try to checkmate Black to win 2 packs of ciggarettes (= Rp 15000)

This one really made me think, and I don't think I quite have it yet. I was about to give up completely.

1. Bac4 (creates mate threat at a2) Bd2
2. Nb4 (covers the b2 square, and now Black must move his bishop off the second rank) Bxc3
3. Qg1+ (the bishop at c3 is pinned and cannot defend)
