Re #2219. Not that it really matters, but there are only six ways to force mate in 2, not seven.

chinmayT mate in 2 move 1.Bf7+ look good but Kd7 ? if Rxf7 ? move 2? Qxf7+ Kd7 ?
You are not calculating right, you forgot it's checkers, not chess, captures are forced, and the more subtle house rule stipulates that capture by less precious pieces are forced, and by more precious pieces are prohibited. Hence Rxd7 is prohibited.

Nice one!
1.Bd4, trapping the queen, the point being if 1...QxBd4, 2.Bd3-b6+ wins the queen, so Black's best try is probably 1...QxRa1.

My bad. There are twelve of them, including the original line.

OK, but to a problem composer, "six ways" means six key moves for White. Good problems only have one key move.
