If you liked helpmates I think you'll also like Suicide Mates!

This indeed works as only 1... g5 2. Qh5# can be the solution. Thanks!

Nice try but this isn't a helpmate in 1!

I assume you wanted 1... Ng8 2. Bd4#, but it isn't mate as the knight can jump back to f6. You're getting closer though..

Sorry, I mistyped. It's still valid, isn't it?
