I found other mate in three moves

a8-c8+ e6-d5; h5xf7+ d5-c6; b1xb7#

After the bishop check, you can block with the e-pawn instead of moving to c6.

For fun, figure out how White can play so that Black can mate in three. Silly moves, but legal.

I found 1.e4 Bf3 2.Qc2 Rd5 3.Qf2 Rd1#. Looks like it's easier for Black to mate in three than White!
