1. Bf8, Rg3 2. Bd6, Nf3 3. Ba3 looks good!?
In all the variations it is mate in 4 I think.
Miscoordinating rook and knights looks good!
1. Bf8, threatening Bg7,
.. Rg3 is the only defence
2. Bd6, threatening Be5,
.. Nf3 is again the only defence
now the third row is blocked for the rook, you can imagine what can happen:
3. Ba3, with mate to follow!
Best regards from Sweden (not my country though)
1) Be7, …; Black cannot avoid
2) Bf6#, …;

Anonymous is wrong after Bf6 gxB
Consul is right but there is another solution based on the same principle Bd6 Cf3
Bc8 with mate to follow
Actually Black cannot avoid
2. Bf6,
but can at least avoid
1 .. g6/g5
2. Bf6#.
asher is wrong.
1.Bd6 Nf3
2.Bc8 Nd4!
3.Bxg7 Rd3 -+
1 Bf8 Rg3 2 Bd6 (threat Be5) Nf3 only move 3 Ba3 and mate on b2 is unavoidable. Cool puzzle!

after white bishop moves somewhere to prepare check – black plays rb3 defending a3 and if white bishop checks – black plays pawn c3 – then what?
sorry my last post – pawn in wrong direction 🙂
