not a difficult one. the black king can't move at all if you don't check it. so you just need a waiting move. so Bg2 or Bh1. but Bh1 is better since you've to make a second waiting move because of the possibility of stalemate. So 1.Bh1 d6 2.Rg2 Kxe4 3.Rd2#

Well I couldn't solve it in my head, only succeeded with mate in four. If a GM has problems with it it can't be that easy.
It's interesting because I set up the position for my fritz and it, immediatly, put out a mate in 4. When I wanted it to serach for mating branches it still couldn't see the mate in 3 which must have something to do with the value of pieces when the program ends?
Please Acne, I don't want to see the solvation of it- it is already listed in the quiz section.

Well GMs learn how to actually play chess, not solve problems (such as these). If a GM ran into a position like this on the board, he'd probably play the first winning continuation he saw, which might end up in mate in 6 or 8 or worse. Good chess problemists will almost instantly recognize the theme of blocking a piece for discovered or double check, though. So in actuality, an 1800 player might have an easier time solving this than a GM...
