Default Re: Chess Puzzles

The fun of this puzzle is that there are so many checkmate possibilities. The king is on e5, and the major and minor pieces are in their starting positions, with the placement of the bishops and knights reversed. On GameKnot, where I saw this puzzle, four people including the originator posted solutions before I did, and I was still able to find some new ones. I'll post one of mine as a solution, but try to find your own.

From the position below, it's white to move and mate in three.




The FEN for this puzzle is:
8/8/8/4k3/8/8/8/RBNQKNBR

If you copy it to Chessup, you can work out the puzzle there.
