actually it is - there are no duals i.e. against any other first move by white, black can avoid mate-on-white's-next-move [also known as "mated in 1" or "mate in -1"].
You want a mate-in-2 problem where white's first move is forcing? That would be below the radar --- sub-trivial :)
i see a mate in tree
knight b3-c4 ( only good response)
rook e5+ - king d4 ( only response)
queen d6 mate
cool
i meenknight b3- pawn c4
rook e5+ - king d4
mine wont work i cant move the peicies
hard one
are you going to leave him there or take him a ladder ?
Re5 Kc4 Qh4++
Hi Brendon it's Wade.Hackett. that one was ezy because you tought me that one at H.S.P.S
There is another solution to this one:
Nb2 any, Re5#
I see a few possibilities:
first possibility: 1.Re4 is the most effective. Whatever black does white has a move to checkmate.
second possibility: If black plans to take the knight on a4. 2.Qe6 would be checkmate. But it is not sure to happen
third possibility:if white plays 1.Nc6 then black takes the knight with the bishop, then 2.Qe6 is checkmate.But i isn't sure to happen...
I'll go with the first possibility...
The answer is simple. The correct answer is 1 Re4! Kxe4 and 2 Qh1#
WOW! Sorry, but this is really easy... (even if my rating is 1400) rook e5 then Qh4 #. Thanks for the puzzle, BrendanNorman!
Rook to e5? After Re5+ Kc4, Where in the world is mate in two?
even with Kd4, if the queen checks, the bishop can stand in the way, by going to g7
