No.8 - Black to play and mate in 3

Phil Watkinson has provided a position from his game in the recent match against Melton 2: “Black to move and its mate in three. I had moved my rook to c3 on the previous move, thinking of attacking the b3 pawn but suddenly saw the mate in three, so clearly and obviously correct. It was a weird feeling of being so certain and I wish it could happen more frequently.” Solution
