Today's contest puzzle...
...doesn't seem to work. Without the B/h5, there actually is a mate in 3. With the Bishop, no matter what moves I make, the best I can get (I think) is a mate in six.

It is working just fine
The puzzle is okay, it is not very easy but there is a mate in three. Wait to see the solution,
you'll go "aaaahhh".

The puzzle is fine...
And it is strikingly similar to the "easy" puzzle on the main page.

Yeah...
...soon after I made the OP, I went back and managed to find a solution, only to mouse slip when entering it, and made a wrong move, making the puzzle unsolvable because I had made the maximum amount of wrong moves before I posted my note.  

So yes, there is a solution.

Quite a nice problem by M. Seckar, White pins his own kNight, but Black has to make a move!
