I love chess. I would like to post a weekly chess problems for the game lovers!

Our first challenge! Black to move and win in 3 movements:

Bloody hell! I could never plan three moves in advance. I took it one at a time

Hope I visualized the moves right:

Black: Queen B7
White: King B7
Black: Bishop to C6
White: King to B6 OR King to C8

If white moves King to B6:
Black: Bishop to C7 and Checkmate

If white moves King to C8:
Black: Horse to A7 and Checkmate

I actually set up the puzzle on my home board to help figure this out and was already certain that it involve moving the light-squared bishop into position and sacrificing the queen. As you could tell from my initial move, my problem was deciding which to do when.

Yeah, also as the point is to plan 3 moves in advance, easiest way is to do check on every turn, and therefore limit the opponent's possible moves to a manageable point.
