 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 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
