How do you get a checkmate in 3 moves?

Question

Please tell me actual peices and not numbers.

Answer 1

It's called Fools Mate. White can do it 3 turns, Black can do it in 2 turns.

White to win:

1. white kings pawn forward 2, black kings bishops pawn forward 1

2. white any pawn on the queens side doesn't matter (just have to wait for black to move another pawn), black kings knight pawn forward 2

3. white queen moves forward diagnolly to the white square in the kings rook column.

Black to win: Pretty much the same, except reversed moves

1. white kings bishop pawn forward 1, black kings pawn forward 2

2. white kings knight pawn forward 2, black queen moves forward diagonally to the black square in the kings rook column.

Easier to explain using notations, hope all that makes sense.
