Mate in 6

Sort:

First time making a puzzle... tell me what you think.
As memers have pointed out, there's multiple ways to do it. And it can be shorter than 6 moves.

Rf8 would have shortened it one less step ;)

Quite - I guess the line of pawns should continue all the way. I'll update that.

why not your white knight jump to mate instead of making a rook move?

This works too.

Quite right as well...I guess I need to work on my puzzle making skills...

Well, there's 1. Ne8 Bf3+ 2. Rg2 Bxg2+ 3. Kxg2 h1=Q+ 4. Kxh1 g2+ 5. Kxg2 a2 6. Nc7#

Taking the Bishop immediately looks like a draw to me, so at least from my perspective, it really *does* look like a mate in 6.
