Like Fermat's Last Theorem, this puzzle is one for the ages Brokenwall. Thank you for allowing me to try and solve it. I haven't found the solution yet

As usual, many White's giant pieces vs single Blacks's poor defender. White to move and mate in 3. But it is easier one. Hope you will solve in 5 mins, not in hours.
