Hi All,

I came across a collection of chess puzzles on miniclip. There is one I haven't been able to solve. Here it is...

We are blue and all our pieces are on the first row. The computer is red and has the two knights and two pawns.

Here's the link, in case any want to play the full game.

1. Ra5!! (sets up a blockade, forces Boden’s Mate if black accepts sac)

Nxa5 2. Ba3#

If Kxa5, 2. Bd2#

If e3, 2. Rb5#

Basically, no way for black to escape checkmate in two due to the poor placement of their pieces.. Ra5 exploits this weakness

Sokrat13, if Qd4+ then Nc4. Then Qc4+ and Kb5. 

The king is safe.
