Can't black just queen the pawn to avoid mate in 2? Would 1. Nf6+ Kf4 2. Qc1+ with mate on next move be better?
I could be missing something, I do not usually do well with these puzzles. I think it is mate after Nf6
1.Nf6#
Agree, 1. Nf6#
Instead of Qb1 why doesn't black play Pe5 which would allow for a Kd5 escape. Even if white plays Rxe5+ black could sacrafice the queen (Qxe5) to get out of mate.
I also agree: mate in 1 with Nf6+
I think our buddy pablo got his buddies doing it now.........2r, q, 3n's. lets hope black gets mated
First, you have to change g8 into white bishop per GINOPFRITZ, so there's no Nf6#. the N on g8 is a white Bishop.
1. Qb1 ... 2. with lots of variations depending on what black's next move.
if black moves:
Qxa3 then Pc3#
Qb3 then Pxb3#
Qc3 then Nxc3#
Qd3 then Pxd3#
Qe3 then Rxe3#
Pxd5 then Bxd5#
any other moves then Qb4#
