Body: <p>Today I remembered this position that I saw a few months ago in <a href="https://twitter.com/SergeyKaryakin/status/608180812949950464" rel="nofollow">a tweet by Sergey Karjakin</a>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[fen "2k5/8/8/BQ6/4K3/8/8/8 w - - 0 1"]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It seemed very easy to me because there are just 4 pieces left but it was much more difficult than I expected. Sergey was asked to solve it in less than five minutes as part of a bet (which he won).  White to play and mate in 3. <strong>Can you also solve it in less than 5 minutes? :)</strong></p>

  Got it barely under the mark. Not sure if it helped or hurt that I knew the mate-in-2 with a similar position (move the Ke4 to f5).
