Cool mate in 3!
Sort:
Trouble is ke6 is not forced. Therefore it is not a forced mate in three.
replies are not forced
I see that the Ke6 is not forced but played out through the other alternative Ke8 then Qg6 would be alternative pushing king back to Ke6 or risking checkmate with Rf7...so worse is perpetual check until white brings in second Knight...
Well from what I can see white has insufficicient funds to buy a sniper rifle but he would do well to keep his Amy. Basically black does not have to accept his position and can get his king to safety if he tried. There is no forcing way to mate but you do have a decent position.
Not Amy S.m.g. Silly auto spell.
like the metaphor :)
The only alternative the king can do also leads to checkmate... This puzzle is correct, even it is not a forced mate in 3, it is mate in 3, or maybe the player can delay it to mate in 5 depending on the move.

eXecute, black doesn't have to block with the rook, he can just keep moving back and forth between e8 and e7 with his king, and if white doesn't check him, black will be able to try to bring his queen or something into play.
Here is a fun puzzle of a game I played...
