mate in 3?
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Hi Dann,
I don't think there is a mate in 3 that chest cannot solve, so I don't think there is a mate in 3, perhaps they have the position wrong on the website, or the position is cooked.

Re: mate in 3?
The fen you posted is wrong. You are missing the bishop on g5. It should instead be:
Kn5N/p1p1R3/r3b3/3p1kBp/1N1PrP2/3Qp1nP/2B5/6q1 w - -
For some reason, there are two boards on the website you posted, and one has the bishop on g5, and the other doesn't. That is likely the problem.

Thanks, that makes sense
