    I was wondering if someone could solve this chess puzzle for me? The text in German says:

    "white begins, and checkmates black in 3 moves. What is the final location of the bishop?"

    This is part of another game, and I'm really not very good at chess!

    Thanks Pherekydes!
    macinalli - would you agree that the bishop would end on C1 (31)?

    Yes, that's the first move of macinalli's solution.
