Three check chess: Forced Victory?
This is a variation of chess called three-check chess where you can win either by checking your opponent three times or just a standard mate. In this game, black has made a slight inaccuracy and played pawn to b5, so now it is white's turn to play.
Assuming that from this point onward, both sides play optimally: is there a chance that white can win this game by either mate or a forced 3 check sequence, and if so in how many moves?
