You can mate Black in 2 moves:

1. Nd3-f4  Bxy

2. Nf4-g6#

 

but black has Be7 and if u take bishop then stalemate, else king escapes through g7, f6.  Best is may be Rf7 first then Rb8

1 Rf7 Bb4  (1.... Bg7  2. Rb8)  2 B7g6

This seems the most direct since it prevents the spite check and allows for multiple ways of delivering check.

Bh7-g6 and mate in maximum 3 coming followed by any moves of black

DangCit

If Bh7-g8, then I think Be7 negates a mate in three:

@scorpioe:  Hmmm ... good catch.

haranosur28

This thread has entirely too much time on its hands.  Smile

Is this puzzle on LSD?  It's certainly a wild one.

I think it's a good n',  and i thought i had it...It however needs lots of attention and another chess set.  I think i'll track n' wait to see if someone actually works it out.  True begginer said her friend told of a solution..Hmmmm?!

Do ya think monster would go for the stalemate?

probaddie

1. Rg7 Bxg7 (forced, else Rg8#) 2. Rb8+ Bf8 (forced) 3. Rxf8#

 

 

Do I win?

 

Edit: Nevermind. 3. ... Kg7

The King could take the rook
