From a Koltanowski Column

It is my habit over breakfast to read the morning San Francisco Chronicle. I never miss George Koltanowski's chess column. Kolty is in his nineties and can tell you about World Champions that he has known like Capablanca, Alekhine, Lasker and Euwe. He still has a sharp eye for a nice game or a pretty problem. This morning he featured a tough mate in three that I really liked. I prefer not to use previously published material and I like my examples to be reasonably realistic looking. So after some substantial modifications I came up with this example.
