can you mate in 2 moves? #1

GOOD LUCK!!!

well...uh... as far as I can tell-

1. Rb1+ Kd2.

2.Bb4# Nice puzzle, very odd position.

you mean 1. Bc2 Nxc2 2 Qxc2# ??

The best possible way I see is  knight x e1.  From what I saw no matter what response from black, mate next move.

king to e1 then queen to d1#.

Bb4 isn't check because of 2... Bc3

I was thinking perhaps:

1. Rb1+ Kd2

2. Qd1#

actually that doesn't work either... 2... Kc3.

darn.

 This is not mate in 2 as Qe2+ extends the life for white.

I believe there are multiple solutions:

For example

Rb1+ Kd2

Qb4#

 I don't think that would work b/c:

1... Qd2+

2. Rxd2 Kxd2

1. Nxe1 Qd2

2. Rb1

bb4 & mate, no matter what blacks response is. ie. a3, a1, c2

1.Ra2+ Bb2  2.Qd1++

1.Nxe1    Qc6...no check mate

1 Bf2 BxRb2.....no mate any more

1. Rb1+ Kd2

2. Qd1# not a mate Kc3

1. Rb1+ Kd2

2. Bb4# not a mate Bc3

1.Ke1 Qd2+ 2.RXQ+ Bb2 not mate in 2

1.Ra2+ Bb2  2.Qd1++ KxQd1

1.Bb4 BxRb2 no mate

GUYS HERE,S the SOLUTION

Nxe1 is the answer followed by various checkmating themes depending on black's response.

my version would work as well, with king taking knight e1, the black queen coming in to d2, white castle taking queen leaving king completly pinned with the two bishops and rook.

no no no no no!! the solution is Rc2+.. Kd1.. Rd2+. Not possible to cut anything because in each check the king is being attacked along two different lines!
