White to play, MATE IN 2

 

Batman2508

iceblastor

you mean mate in 3?
Qb3+ Nc4
Bf7+ Ne6
Rxf5#

Is it 1. Nc2/Ng2 Nxc2/Nxg2 2. Qb3#?

I think I've got it but not sure. 

The first move has to be Rxf5+. If Ngxf5, then Bf7#. If Nexf5, then Qb3#. Finally, if neither piece takes and black instead does Kc4, then Qb5#.

What about Ke6 after Rxf5?

No, Because black can play Ke6 and you don't have your mate in 2.

but this is kind of ridiculous though. You should already have won before it gets to this point tongue

Hmm, good question. Didn't see that move

I'm pretty sure nc2 is correct ke6 just qd6 mate?

nc2 is definitely the best move

First thought:
Rxf5+
if Nexf5 then Qb3#
If Ngxf5 then Bf7#
if Kc4 then Qb5#
if Ke6 then I'm not seeing the mate in 2 sadly

Yeah I'm convinced at this point about Nc2. I'm just not sure if something makes Ng2 a worse move

Kxe6 and then Qb5# if he moves his king, it is still mate in one with Qd3#


You mean Kxe3? I'm not seeing what you mean, your coordinates are off.

Rxf5 then Ngxf5 Bf7 mate if Nexf5 Qb3 mate

If 1. Nc2, I don't see a checkmate in 1 after 1...Nc4. 1. Ng2 may be correct though: if Nc4, Nf4#; if e3 N to anywhere else, Qb3#; if Ke6, Qd6#, if Kc4, Nxe3#; if Ne8, Bf7#; if Nxh5, Qg8#; if Ne6, Nxe3#.

I'm thinking this has got to be correct because I also don't see a checkmate after 1. Nc2 Nc4, and there are plenty of checkmates after Ng2. I can't find a way out of it for black. Initially I was thinking 1. Nc2 Nc4 2. Nb4 was checkmate, but no, Ke6. Definitely going with 1. Ng2 as the answer.

But after 1. Nc2 Nc4, isn't 2. Qb3#?

 

Edit: Oh I see, Nc4 guards b3
