In the year 1713, during the Sweden-Turkish war, Charles Benedict the XII spends his time with preparations for war and playing chess. His rival is the Castle General C. Grokuzen. One day, they reach this position (please help me with the FEN here): Kf5 Rg7 Ne1 PP h2, g2 / Kh5 Bf2 PP g3, h6

Charles declares mate in three. Can you find it?

Just then, a Turkish bullet strikes the Knight, destroying the piece. Grokuzen offers him another one, but Charles refuses and declares mate in six.

Can you find it?

(Insert FEN here)

Then, another random bullet blasts off the h2 pawn. Charles is furious: " I will prevail even against your devious ways, and the Turkish!" He declares mate in five.

(Insert FEN here)

Seeing this, Grotuzen flees to save his life and joins the Turkish army the next day.

Interesting game, with all the bullets flying around...
