Pitty the GK puzzle module can't find all mate variants by itself.

Then still this position wouldn't lead to a "good" puzzle, or...?

The idea of the puzzle is fun.

To move the same pawn twice and create a mate is fun.
Didn't know there where so many side solutions at that moment.
If the GK puzzle module wouldn't accept more than one key move, it's better.

Cheers,
Frank.

If 1. Rb8(?)

Black can move N to c7, delaying mate by 1 move. So to have a 3-move mate, W must play 1. Rd8.
