Some of the people who post puzzles here have developed the habit of testing their puzzles before posting them. Others, not so much.

By accident I looked at the first page of this thread and saw the mate in 2 problem at comment #5. What struck me about that problem is that no credit was given to its composer. So now, nine years later, I want to correct that oversight. It is a 1932 problem by Otto B. Wurzburg and was published in the Grand Rapids Herald.

A couple of usual rules for chess puzzles I've usually found are that you must specify if en passant is possible and you must specify if castling is possible. FEN notation takes care of this with the fileds following the position.
- White's always on the bottom. Pieces use the initials from algebraic notation. (P=pawn, N=Knight, B=Bishop, R=Rook, Q=Queen, and K=King. The White pieces are capitalized and the Black pieces use little letters. Ranks are separated using /. They always list the piees starting in the upper left and going across each rank then down to the next rank. Numbers denote how many empty squares ina row.
- Whose move? Use "w" for White and "b" for Black.
- If either side can castle then KQkq is used to denote who and where. Remeber Capitals mean White pieces. K is for Kingside and Q is for Queenside.
- Any en passant target squares are given in algebraic notation.
- Number of plys for the fifty move rule.
- Move number.
For example this is the FEN of the starting position... (the "-" denotes no en passant.)

@gmhareesh, it only leads to a faster mate.
Never play a mod, just in case that little girl has a bad day she kicks you out of the game when losing.
what if you actually read the first post?

cool !! but it is obvious that the first move is a check thereby eliminating right away other variations.
Yes this one was cool, but the first move was not a check!

How about 5.Kf5 ? After 5.Kf5 is see 5...Qxh3+ 6.Ke5 ( 6.Kxe4 Qe3+ 7.Kf5 g6+ 8.Kg4 Qh3# ) and I see no checkmate but 6...Bd6+ wins the Queen and the Queen on h3 defends c8 for the last row.
