axb2 is not mate. this is:
3. Nxb2 axb2+
4. Qxb2 P(c3)xb2++
Speaking of which, the chess column in the SF Chronicle drives me nuts because the solution is in error about once a month (because the logic is wrong, pieces are omitted from the graphic, or the solution printed doesn't correspond to the printed position).
