Black:
Kb7, Qf8, Bf6, Nc8, pawn a6.

Mate in 3 moves, Novotny Chess.

Solution

All moves realizing the `Novotny' theme are denoted by the following sign: ^.

1Qh8^. Necessary move in the intersection point "h8" of Black queen and bishop. 1...Qg8+^. Again a necessary move. 2Qg7+^ Qf7^. Now when the theme is completed, white is free to play 3Bd5#.
