My old place….

Black to move and mate in 3.

    Both pestlover and amenamen fail to consider:

    2. . . . . . B×d4
    Or

    Waalaw, as I noted, K-e2 is forced. Your suggestions would be excellent alternatives except that they’re illegal. This is because taking the bishop does not get the king completely out of check.
