No computer can solve this mate in 1, my revenge!!

The en passant answer is correct, but that was only the answer to the first part of the puzzle. Nobody has found the 2 mates in 2 moves as yet.

Gil, I will try later to see if I can find any.

okaaaaay,

I've lost the plot. 

Do you mean nobody has found the 2 mates in 2 moves?

I can't see anywhere on this thread where nobody posted the answer.

Queen at X7 to X15 checks King on W16 and King on P7.

Black's only possible move is to take Queen on X15 with KingW16.

Then Queen on U8 moves to S10, checking King on X15 and King on P7 simultaniously.

Black can only get one of the Kings out of check on their move...so it's checkmate.

P.S. I thought the other one has been found already.

Lucien: 

That's a cool idea, but it's just a double check, you're not checkmating either King. Who's to say that if there are 4, 5, 6 or x number of kings on the board you can't move 2 or more when they're in check?   

You need to find a checkmate, not a double check.

Posts #15 and #41 both provide one of the "mate in 2" solutions.

Not sure where to find the other "mate in 2."

Zborg: yeah, that's one of the 2 mates, still one missing.

OK.  90 minutes thinking, and almost a headache --

 

1)  Black moves BV5 to U6 (with discovered check from the Queen on Q5 to the King on W5).

2)  If White Queen on Q2 moves to T5 to block the check, then Queen on Q5 moves to Q1 and mates the King on P1.

3)  If, (instead), Black moves his King out of the discovered check above, then Black plays Queen on Q5 takes Queen on Q2, and mates the King on P1 (yet again, but from a different square).

 

This is my only "puzzle working effort."  Puzzles are for "crazy chessnuts" -- or Ph.D. mathematicians, like GM John Nunn.

Leave me out of this future madness, please.  Laughing

Wow, great solution, zborg.

Good job, zborg!Laughing

NQ13-O14+, KP16-Q16 (forced, as the N16 knight is pinned), then QX7-O15 checkmate.

EDIT: Ignore me, didn't spot that that was the one already posted. I blame lack of sleep.

Javeir...I still have no clue how to create one of these puzzles...is there a software that I could use? I wanna make one for fun.

First time seeing something like this. What an interesting puzzle! 

Humus_Land

white or black to move?

gimpyfish

You'll have to figure that one out yourself ^.^

JavierGil

Zborg, that's very smart and it works. Well done!!

I hadn't seen that!

Bad news is there's officially 3 checkmates in 2 now.
