This is second puzzle ever made by me (I made 11 puzzles total so far). What I like in this puzzle is :

1. It's miniature - just 7 pieces!

2. First move as supposed to be isn't check or capturing.

3. Symmetry!!!

Please tell me your opinions about this puzzle! I need to hear your comments to help me make better puzzles!

 Thank you very much!!! I've shown this puzzle to a lot of people and nobody found another solution! Hmm.. Now I'll have to think about how to prevent it... Thanks!

Do you think this will work better? In 2 minutes I thought about it, everytthing seemed correct... I'll have to think better about this puzzle...

You are cruel person, diomed1 - you ruin all my plans

I'll think about this later and post in the same topic. Do you want me to send you message when I do it?

No, benws, I can't! How can there be puzzle with two alternate solutions for white?! Even if it takes me month I'll make it correct...

The "My first puzzle", what was finally finished yesterday (By the way, diomed1 look at it, may be you'll find another solution there, you're good in this!), was started a long time ago...

Also (in the first diagram) 1 Qc4+ Kc6 2 Qb5+ Kd5 3 Bc4 mate

Beautifull problem !! I have no further remarques; only this one: go on further like this with making problems, you are certainly talented !!

Many thanks for this wonderfull problem!

Friendly greetings,

And two more:  1 Qa4 Ke6 2 Bg6 Kd5 3 Bf7 mate (and the echo var with 1 Qg4 Kc6 2 Ba6).  Damn, I was trying to watch a movie and I kept thinking of this position!

Yeah, this position gets you, you'll never stop thinking about it!

I'll have to work on it a lot, I guess. But still it's pretty cool position! Not a puzzle though.

good sorry

nice puzzle, and there are alot of different ways to checkmate
