White to Move and Mate in 3 (Wainwright)Well, White has most squares covered , but how to deliver mate. Bd3 is an idea, but needs support.
Let's try 1. Rd8 but 1 ...Kf5 and the king runs away. 2. Bd3 Ke6 3. Qxg4+ Ke7 4. Qd7#
I tried several other moves, but no go.
Ok, the answer is 1. Ka2 - but I must confess I still didn't see the idea
1...Bb8 2.Qh1 what ? oh ! 2...Ba7 3.Qb1#
1...Kf5 2. Qxg4 Kxg4 3. Be6#
