    Helpmate in 3
    2 solutions

    Black starts and both sides collaborate to attain checkmate of Black on White's 3rd move.

    Whoa. I never even looked at this one until now. Wasn't your last one also called Maddening Little Problem [3]?

    EDIT: Oh, wait. I confused this with A More Crowded Helpmate.

    'Maddening' is a good description for this problem, having never tried a help-mate before this one has got me stumped at the minute. The black queen is killing all of my efforts so far.
