Cecil's Saturday Puzzle - June 20, 2009
From the Saturday Winnipeg Free Press
White to Mate in 3 (Wurzburg)
I accidentally noticed the solution on my computer before completing my analysis, but I was heading in the right direction. 1. Qa3 - keeps the K off the third and sets up mates with Bd3 1...Kb1 2.Nc4 Nxc4 3. Bd3# 1...Na4 2.Nc4 1...Kd2 2. Qxb2+ Ke1 3. Nd3#

Unfortunately, Qa3 loses to the patented Gibbons Knight-Bishop Nxa3...
