That's certainly not mate in two Delta.. Have you considered 1. ... Re5?

Qxe5 #

Don't get confused, the black is moving downward and the white is vice versa.

Where did you get this puzzIe? Did you make it up?

I don't see that this is a forced mate in 2. After 1. Rf7 what if Black plays 1. ... Re5 because 1. ... Bxf7 is not forced. The idea behind Bxr7 is to prevent 2. Qe6# (even though it still allows 2. Qxf7#); however, if 1. ... Re5 2. Bxe5 Pxe5 gives the black king a temporary escape route.

Black should still easily loose this game; but, it is not a forced mate in 2 unless I've over-looked something.

P.S. The daily puzzle was great!

You're right I was in a hurry when I looked at this and didn't read any of the other post.

Sorry for questioning you. Now that I'm not in such a hurry it all makes perfect sense. Good puzzle.
