L.A. Times Problem No. 62 by Godfrey Heathcote. But here's one that may give even the experts a headache. White mates in three.
FEN b7/Kn1N4/3p3b/p2k1P2/Q3pp2/8/3PP1P1/8 w - - 0 1
Key: 1. P-N4/g4. If PxP e.p.; 2. P-Q4 Pxp e.p; 3. P-K4 mates. If N-B4; 2. N-N6ch K-K4; 3. Q-R mate! If P-B6; 2. P-Q4 etc. If P-K6; 2. P-Q3 etc. The showing of PxP 'in passing' on both first and second moves of black is another theme; a fine problem.
