Challenge? Seriously? 🙂
1. Rh1+ Nh3
2. Rxh3+ gxh3
3. Bf3 mate
1.Bb3!! axb3
2.Ra2! bxa2
and suddenly Black has a pawn on a2, which has proved to be a winning condition for White.
1. Rh1+ Nh3
2. Rxh3+ gxh3
3. Bf3#
easy as a daisy
check the black king whatever way you can…non-stop and white wins.
1. Rh1+ Nh3
2. Rxh3+ gxh3
3. Bf3++
1. Rh1+ Nh3 2.Rxh3+ gxh3 3.Bf3#
1. Rh1+ Nh3 2. Rxh3+ gxh3 3. Bf3# *
All forced moves on black’s part:
1. Rh1 Nh3
2. Rh3 gh3
3. Bf3#
This one seems pretty simple since the black king has no squares. Rh1+ Nh3 Rxh3+ gxh3 Bf3#
Rh1+ should do the trick
… Nh3 (forced)
Rxh3 gxh3
Bf3 mate
i think, it’s not so complicated.
1. Rh1+ Nh3
2. Rxh3+ gxh3
3. Bf3#
greets, jan
1.Rfh1+ Ngh3
2.Rxh3+ gxh3
3.Bdf3#
Indeed, easy as a daisy. Forced mate in three.
1. Rh1+, Nh3
2. Rxh3+, fxg3
4. Bf3 checkmate.

Anonymous’ “check the black king whatever way you can” dictum is dangerous, since playing Bf7+?? on move 1 or 2 or 3 loses. However, 1.Rh1+ Nh3 2.Rxh3+ gxh3 3.Bf3# works.
Bf3 gxf3

1. Rh3 Nh3 2. Rh3+ gh3 3. Bf3++
If used for children at a certain level, this puzzle contains an interresting pitfall, an optically goodlooking move:
1. Bxg5
How would you answer if your opponent plays this (as many pretty smart children would do)?
Certainly not hxg5?? but
1. … Bxf5!!
with everlasting peace on g6, white must retract bishop, but is still down with a piece, black wins.
This is straight-forward:
1.Rh1+ Nh3
2.Rxh3+ gxh3
3.Bf3#
