Topple in Three

Here’s a weekend puzzle for you, Keedas!

White to play. Black had decided that enough was enough and had gone with d5 in the previous (13th) move, attacking the white Queen.

In the next three moves, I expect you to get to a winning position. You would do well to know that the actual game ended in four moves… with a Checkmate. Yes.

Early next week, I’ll update you with the actual way in which the game was won.

Solution:Most of you got it right.Three moves: Re8+ Kxe8, Qxc8+ Ke7, Nd5+By then the game is hopelessly one-sided. In the game, Black went with Kd6 and it was over with Qc7#.
