No check on Qd8.

No, Qd8#. The king is on G8. So that's mate.

1. Be5 Kh7
2. Qh8+ Kg6
3. Bf3 Qf6#
This is the one I was talking about. I misread your mate For Kh7 instead of Qh7. We weren't discussing Qh7 to begin with. I know that one.![]()

Black Unchecks again F8-G8, I move be5
black's move BTW...
Kh7, Qh8+
Kg6, Qh5?
Kh5
or
Kh7, Bf3
Rg8, ...
1. Be5 Kh7
2. Qxh8 Kg6
3. Bf3 Qxd6(or any move)
4. Qg7#
So it delays the mate by 1.
That doesn't delay mate by 1. It's been #3 since the Be5 move. We weren't counting the Be5 move.

Black does have another move you have not considered
1. Be5 Rh7 (white doesn't even have a continuing check much less mate in 2)
It is still a won game for white but not mate in 3.

chessmaster 10th is the best for starting out, and it does beat most chess books-it has the training w/ josh, whatshisname, with the thousands of annotated games, along with the greatest games of all time, and it has the blunder alert, always a good thing, and the engine is pretty good, not quite the latest fritz, but good enough for anyone but a grandmaster. all of the opponents in CM10th are really over-rated, especially the engine itself, (it rates me at about 2300-and im more like 1800) but for learning chess, from beginners to intermediate, it is the best. now with 3-d glasses! it has online play, but its not as good as the icc.
