@VishTheFish771 this puzzle is probably a bit easy for you since it is for new members or new players to chaturaji. Have a go at the puzzles on the regular (Chess puzzles) page if you like.

Green has mate in two against red in this archived game I found. What is the tactic?

Avatar of is-this-allowed

i see it

Avatar of Danny-2-8-4

Technically mate in one but the second move is to take the king. It’s a good real game puzzle.

Avatar of Bird-Seed

But they aren't 'mated' until the king is taken, no? It just so happens to be a non-issue in standard.
