The answer is: white: king d6 to d7 black: king d3 to e4 white: rook c5 to d5 black: king e4 takes d5 white: queen f2 to d4 checkmate This has been very trixy. I enjoyed it. So, I’ve had some time to think about it. The answer is:

And so does the one move. Some further thought then. True, those two scenarios lead only to a stalemate. And so does the one move. Some further thought then.

I cannot see the mate in 1 (maybe you could show this to me). I must confess that I haven't had time to closely analyze your solutions but at a quick glance (and it is just a quick glance, I maybe wrong) it seems that black is only in a stalemate position because [in the first scenario] the black king on c1 is not in mate but is prevented from moving by the white queen on d3 and white rook on b5 (stalemate). and in the second scenario black king on e1 again is only prevented from moving by white queen d3 and white rook f5 but is not in check (hence, stalemate). In which case it would appear that both scenarios only lead to a stalemate and not a checkmate. There is a very definite checkmate in 3 moves here... em… I cannot see the mate in 1 (maybe you could show this to me).

It is only a medium. As for this one, the king can be checkmated in one move, but since you asked for three: Two possible scenarios: 1 - white: queen f2 to d4 check black: king d3 to c2 white: rook c5 to b5 black: king c2 to c1 white: queen d4 to d3 checkmate 2 - white: queen f2 to d4 check black: king d3 to e2 white: rook c5 to f5 black: king e2 to e1 white: queen d4 to d3 checkmate I got to your blog through Violi's. Here is mine. http://wineofwisdom.wordpress.com/ The board is excellent. It is only a medium.

As for this one, the king can be checkmated in one move, but since you asked for three:

Two possible scenarios:

1 – white: queen f2 to d4 check
black: king d3 to c2
white: rook c5 to b5
black: king c2 to c1
white: queen d4 to d3 checkmate

2 – white: queen f2 to d4 check
black: king d3 to e2
white: rook c5 to f5
black: king e2 to e1
white: queen d4 to d3 checkmate
