Broken Mate in 3 #4 - OzChess

**Brokenwall** · 02-26-2009, 02:31 PM

Hello, i'm back

. As usual, 3 movers, White to play and mate in 3.
Well, i think it will become a short thread bcoz this puzzle is an easy one.
Yeah at least, for your joy... since no one post any puzzles recently.

Black : Ka1, Rb6
White : Kh3 , Qd8, Qg7 etc

Btw why nobody post any puzzle for me?

I can post a puzzle for you if you want. But first, your post above has no accompanying diagram

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Seems that the [IMG] tags are not working for some reason. I saved the above as a .gif file and then uploaded it using Manage Attachments.

It should be viewable to everyone now.

Sorry, i have overwritten my chess diagram file in my personal free web. It took a few hours to reload the new file. Thats why u couldnt see the diagram.

Bishop to B3, Pawn to C4

What happens next is interesting but I dont see a way black can block mate in 3.

What am i missing?
