Indo sidewalk puzzle #7

OK, here is puzzle #7. I found it at night bazaar in a small town in Central Java a week ago and of course I won the prize, 2 pack of cigarettes

.

As usual, white to move and mate in 3 moves.

Black : Kh8, Bf8
White : Ke1, Qd1, Qa2 etc

Good luck!

You wouldn't happen to have the FEN string for this puzzle, would you?

**Just2Good** · 07-24-2009, 05:22 PM

Here it is.

**Just2Good** · 07-24-2009, 05:41 PM

1. Be5 Be7 2. Qd3 Bxf6 3. Bxf6#

**mrmip** · 07-25-2009, 12:33 AM

Nice try AO, but what after 'traditional' 2...Kg7??
Certainly the half-battery on long diagonal is useful in some variations.

**Simon** · 07-25-2009, 05:01 PM

1. Nh5 Bg7 2. Qd3 Bxd4 3. Nf7# and if he goes the other way, it becomes 1. Nh5 Bxd6 2. Re4+ Be5 3. Baxe5#

**Brokenwall** · 07-25-2009, 07:28 PM

Its nice, Simon. But how about 1...Be7 in your lines?

I know the answer to this one. Can I answer it instead of Simon?

Go ahead AO. We are anxious to know.
There is 2...Kxh7 and 2...Bh4+ to consider.

I need a hint

**mrmip** · 07-27-2009, 07:03 PM

Hint: 1.Nh5? Be7! does not solve the problem.
Another hint: To all 4 black bishop defense moves after the key, white has different continuation move(s) with a different piece.

That's interesting. Okay I won't give up yet, but may need another day or so.

**Just2Good** · 07-28-2009, 08:59 PM

I am stuck, what is the first move?

**mrmip** · 07-29-2009, 06:42 PM

For AO only:
