  Why not Bf7 followed by Qg6? It Leads to Mate in 2..

  1. ...  Re1+  prevents  2.Qg6#

  1. Bxf7   Re1+
  2.Rxe1   Qxf7,
  3.Qxf7+  Kxf7

  and white has the advantage, but no quick win ... and it certainly wasn't a mate in 2.

  There are several variations, but they all seem to result in an advantage for white, but no quick win.

  Hey thanks,didn't see that at first.

  I was once on the receiving end of a game that ended very much like this.

  Another solution:

  1.       Bxf7 Rxf7

  2.       Qg6#

  But what r doesn't xf7 but puts White into check???

  You puzzle counts you wrong for finding a quicker mate. Both 3. Qxg6# and 3. Qf4# are faster mates than the solution given in the puzzle.

  Queen sac is the only guaranteed mate.
