Fiendish. I used the analyze function after 20 min.

May stronger chess-heads prevail.

Analyze showed me mate in 3 though?

I think you need to set higher depth (Processing level) option in the analyze for it to find it.

I do not possess the lateral thinking required for this puzzle. Hats off to whoever got it

Love your puzzles but hate the ad-infested site you’re linking to. Would you mind posting a FEN so we can analyse it with Lichess or other tools?

This is the copied FEN

3R4/2NK3p/4p2r/8/1npkB3/Q3R3/5b2/6B1 w KQkq - 0 1

And pasted into lichess
