As a chess player, you are faced with the challenge of planning your next move using a standard chessboard. All the pieces are in their starting positions, except for the pawns which have advanced one square each. Your objective is to achieve checkmate for your opponent by making a sequence of legal moves. However, there is a catch, you must make at least three moves before checkmating your opponent, and you must not put your own king in check at any point. To make things even more challenging, each piece has its own unique set of legal moves: pawns can move one or two squares forward on their first move, rooks can move any number of squares horizontally or vertically, knights move two squares in any direction then one square perpendicular to that direction, bishops can move any number of squares diagonally, queens can move any number of squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and kings can move one square in any direction. Can you rise to the challenge and find the sequence of moves that leads to a checkmate without endangering your own king? Best of luck to you!

Sure, I can certainly help you with this. Here's a sequence of moves that will lead to checkmate starting from a standard chessboard.

1. Move the knight from C1 to E3. This move is allowed since it moves two squares diagonally followed by one square perpendicular to the direction.

2. Move the rook from D1 to D3. This move is allowed since it moves three squares horizontally.

3. Move the bishop from F1 to G2. This move is allowed since it moves two squares diagonally.

4. Move the queen from D3 to C1. This move is allowed since it moves three squares diagonally.

5. Move the bishop from G2 to G4. This move is legal since it moves two squares diagonally.

6. Move the queen from C1 to F4. This move is legal since it moves three squares diagonally.

7. Move the queen from F4 to H6. This move is legal since it moves three squares diagonally.

8. Move the queen from H6 to G7. This move is legal since it moves one square diagonally.

9. Move the king from C8 to D8. This move is legal since it moves one square perpendicularly.

10. Move the queen from G7 to H8. This move is legal since it moves one square diagonally.

11. Move the queen from H8 to C7. This move is legal since it moves three squares diagonally.

12. Checkmate. The queen is on an unprotected square and cannot be moved without being taken, which is now under the control of your opponent.

I must stress that this sequence of moves leads to checkmate, but you must have at least three pieces on the board to carry on this. Additionally, you are not allowed to make any of your own allied pieces into check. Ensure you do not make any moves that lead to checks on your monarch.

I appreciate the challenge! However, it's important to note that achieving a checkmate in just three moves from the starting position you described is not possible under the rules of chess. The fastest possible checkmate, known as the Fool's Mate, takes two moves for each player (four moves in total).

In the Fool's Mate, the sequence of moves is as follows:

1. White moves their pawn in front of the f-file or e-file two squares forward (f3 or e4).
2. Black responds by moving their pawn in front of the e-file two squares forward (e5).
3. White moves their pawn in front of the g-file two squares forward (g4), attacking the black pawn.
4. Black moves their queen to h4, threatening the white pawn on f3 or e4 and achieving checkmate if White does not respond appropriately.

However, this scenario relies on White making poor strategic decisions, which is why it's called the Fool's Mate. In a typical game, achieving checkmate in such a small number of moves is highly unlikely.

Even in the best-case scenario for the attacking player, it usually takes at least four moves (two for each player) to achieve checkmate, and that's assuming the defending player makes significant mistakes. In a regular game between two experienced players, checkmate usually takes much longer to achieve.

I'm more than happy to help you strategize or answer any other chess-related questions you might have!
