I concur. If this is gm level I'm gunning for carlsen.

It is not checkmate in 2....take another look.

You have to calculate Kxg5, kh7 is not the only move. But it is no masterlevel puzzel.

But, for a checkmate in just 3 moves ?....it's extraordinarily hard trying to solve it in, say, 10 minutes. And, I've read it was not composed and Black is lost - piececount wise.

Wrong! King can take the pawn at g3 also. Remember black rook is blocking the black bishop!

I agree it is not easy for my level but i am sure a grandmaster would find this easy

Okay, so I exaggerated a little....bad habit of mine (I like drama)........

I assume you got it right then w/ Bb6....but Bb6 is not a check.....if not, speak up.

If you don't comment back, then congratulations you just won a Twister Game which you will get by midnite eastern tonite.

1rf4+ kxg4 rxd5+ f4 (forced) rxf4 ++ ?

Mysound....this doesn't work hon.

oops i meant B takes lol ;) otherwise it wouldnt be check
