This one was easy. Only a few pieces in play, only one high piece on both, black has almost no moves. etc. etc.

No need to see the big picture 'cause there is none.

Well,I post only now here...I saw this thread yesterday,but it was already solved
All you consider me "a guy who don't know chess,and he post here only to raise his Post Count"
BUT NO!
Really,I know chess,but I haven't play it from some months (only when I post here) and I never post forum-chess-solving,the first time when I solve a forum-chess-puzzle was here

Sorry for this offtopic,but really I want to say I'm not really a novice...I won a 2 school-chess-championship when I have 7 and 8 years old...but then I really sucked at chess

..Why do you care so much what we think about your chess knowledge?

Good players don't run around the streets yelling "LOOK AT ME I'M GOOD AT CHESS".. they don't care whether someone knows it or not. They simply play the game

Man,I never say here "I'M THE BEST AT CHESS HERE !!!"
From your comments to me,I understand only a thing,all time here on this thread I think you say "You suck,Razor" from your comments

But please I want to end this,this is a Chess playing forum (chess tips&tricks,puzzle soving) not a Chess-conflict between me and Doom

!? I never said you suck or anything. I'm just curious why do you try so badly to inform us that you're good in chess

And I see no conflicts lol.

The conflict is between you and me
And I repeat,I NEVER SAY I'M THE BEST AT CHESS!!!!!!
I say only I know it...You start to say
"Are you sure you know chess?" (when I make a mistake,I make draw there,not mate)
Yeah,I want with this to say: I know,I'm not the best,you are better than me,Asheera is too much better than me,keldorn is the Chess King here.....I only answered your question:

"Are you sure you know chess?"
Yes,I know

PLEASE,I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS "CONFLICT"(or not conflict,something like this)I WANT TO FINISH THIS!
I will stay,think about solving the puzzle posted by keldorn,but I will never want to speak about this between me and Doom
Because if we continue this, the moderators will give us (me and Doom) penalties
 
And please a thing to other forumers who post on this thread:
IGNORE THIS!

OK guys I'd like to introduce a new thing, which is called helpmate.

When solving a helpmate puzzle, your task is to conrol both of the players' pieces, and deliver mate to black with white. Yes, it sounds strange, but that's why it's called helpmate: Black and white cooperate together in order to mate black.

Your first helpmate puzzle is the following:



Usually in such puzzles, it's black to move first, and both sides have x moves. Thus, the last move for white (the mating move) is numbered x+1, because black began but white finishes.

Black to move, helpmate in 3.

EDIT: Altough black helps white, every move must be legal. So you still can't put your own king into check.

if i understood correctly,black move would be  H7 D7?
king is under check D4 to E3 run from check? F5 to E6? G8 to G6 checking the black king?
E6-E7 running from check,F4 to G5 ,check
7E to 8E running from check
G6 to G8 helpmate???

You said: d4-e3, e3-f3? White can't move twice.
