First move is obvious:
1. Bf8+ Kh7
Now I would have liked to put knight on f8 as well to bring king to h8 and then Bg7#. But two pieces can’t be in the same place, so how could this work?
Simply swap sequence of the moves!
2. Bg7!
Nice. Now there are both 3. Nf8# but also:
2. … Ng5+ (only move to avoid Nf8#)
3. Nxg5#
Now I notice that I wouldn’t have been that much down with material and still playing unless I saw this combination on previous move.
So I ponder where white could have sacked a rook or something on previous move to get this. But I don’t find the answer.
1..B-f8+ K-h7, 2,,B-g7,if N-g5+, 3..Nxg5++ 2….any other move, 3..N-f8++
Nice little puzzle, that was perfect for my 8 year old son to tackle. His answer:
1. Bf8+ Kh7
2. Bg7 a1=Q
3. Nf8#
