Of course not. No solution was being given.

Its just the same with this problem. Using a computer to help solve it, provided you do not claim the solution as your own is not cheating so why shout about it.

I was accused of doing precisely that. Really pissed me off too, after spending 2 hours solving the bloody thing.

I still don't see the saving grace after 1.Nf5 Rd7 2. Ne3.

He didn't accuse you of anything. It was a joke. Get a sense of humor and get over yourself.

It's a public forum genius. You don't need to ask for my opinion. If you are going to come on here and whine like a 2 year old about an imaginary cheat accusation, don't complain when someone sets you straight. Grow up junior.

You can't read. The accusation remains posted for all to see. If it's humor (which I think is a lame excuse to recant the accusation), it's in poor taste. I don't share your pathetic 'sense of humor' if you find this funny.

Don't put it off any longer. Go self-fornicate.

You apparently don't have ANY sense of humor. If you get your panties tied in a knot over something that trivial, then you simply have alot of growing up to do. I'm done with you. You are really pathetic.

hi everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry moon, Ne7 doesn't work. The refutation is posted earlier in the thread. Read through it, you will find an accurate solution posted by BigDoggProblem and many refutations for other attempted answers. Most of the refuttions revolve around the same idea, which is a waiting move by black to delay the checkmate by 1 move, which causes the anser to be wrong (because it has to be delivered in no more than 3 moves with best defense). 🙂

hi everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's the solution 😉

There are two solutions but only one first move!

1.Rb8!!

If ..Rxb8 then 2.Qh3+ ..Kg1 3.Bd4#

This line works for any black move that takes the rook off the d-file, however, black has another defense...


1..Rf8

One would assume that the previous mate still applies, but it no longer works in three as black can block the bishop check with his rook, so..

2.Rf7!!

If Black captures then Rh8#, if he moves the rook then Rf1#

A lovely puzzle, i think you'll all agree.
