Inspired by this comment, I created a small chess problem for you :)

Important things

The board is looped.
Use algebraic notation in the answer.
See solutions of Puzzlemania 4 and Puzzlemania 5 if you did not solve my looped chess problems before.

Rules

Giveaways end on Saturday, 24th of September.
Do not share answers/hints with other players.
Do not ask anybody for help, it is an individual puzzle.

Prizes

LEGO® Jurassic World
LEGO® The Hobbit™

Solution

0-0-0Bg3

Notationwise, instead of 0-0-0 you could use 000, O-O-O, OOO.

Bb8 as a second move does not mate the black king because the second black rook may break the bishop.

Good luck and have fun! especially OnlyTwin :)

Ironic considering it's the looped board; I just keep going round in circles on this one :D

The format should not be a problem if you follow the referenced article. Double and triple check you second move maybe.

Solution posted. Was it a notation problem for you?

It seems it was a problem of not checking your previous puzzles xd (at some point I also tried 000Rb8Bg3 and 0-0-0Rb8Bg3 after checking them, but didn't realize I had to omit the black movements)
