Are you claiming that a tiresome little mate-in-3 has defeated BigDogg? 🙄
I am merely surprised that he didn't claim the three White rooks are provably illegal. 😵 I did immediately notice the three white Rooks and the three white Knights (!), but of course, White could easily have promoted them.
However, I bet the idea of this problem can be shown with a lot less pieces on the board.

Joined 19 Mar '05 Moves 404 Why not 1. Ne1 (threatening mate at g2) 1... Rd2 defending mate. 2. Nf3 (mate threats at g1 and h2) 2... R moves (blocking one of the mates) and 3. Qg1# or !. Qh2#?
