    Incredible puzzle but other options better. I wish I could be first some day but need to either stay up all night or move to India.


    You could move to Alaska. They don't have a knight. You can probably see Alaska from where you live.

    Why not??...    1.Ne2+, Rdxe2. 2.Qxe2 [if 2.Qxe2, Rxe2 3.Tf1++]

    1.Ne2+, Rexe2. 2.Tf1++

    Kinda not what I was expecting... but I still got it... there is a forced mate in two moves... 3rd anyway


    Please show us the forced mate in two moves.

    I see a sure win for black unless he blunders, but no quick forced mate.  I found several very different continuations.  I think that white must offer to trade queens on the next move (to prevent a quick mate).  So one of the variations  starts out 4. Qe3  Qxe3, 5 Rxe3  Rxf6.  (Another is 4. Qf2  Qxf2,  5. Rxf2  Kxf2)  Eventually, white is forced to trade rooks, and the knight advantage is overwhelming. 

    In fact, white must be careful to avoid situations in which a check by the knight forces him to trade his rook for the knight.   For example:
    4. Qe3     Qxe3
    5. Rxe3    Rxf6
    6. Re7     Rf7
    7. Re8     Kg7
    8. h3       Nc6
    9. Re4     Re7
    10. Rf4    g5
    11. Rgr    h6
    12. h4     Ne5
    13. Rg3   g4
    14. h5    Kf3
    15. Re3  Nf3+
    16. gxf3 Rxe3

    I'm sure we can find less-than-best moves on both sides in this sequence (and in others I looked at), but the point is, white is forced into a losing end game.
