Because, Gert-Jan, Rh5 isn't mate, black could play Rf5.

Famous Puzzles #1
Sort:
This is the solution :1. e4 Rxe4 2. f3xe2#
If not take: 1. e4 Bxh7 2.Ne2# Any other move wil lead to Ne2#
I thought about that, but Bg5 gives Black a flight square at e5.
Dear Sir,
I think you are suggesting the there is zugzwang, but if the obvious piece is taken, black should not take back or he will clearly lose. He can take the bishop and it is not mate in 2 as posted.
in any hard two move puzzle
checking in first move is difinitly wrong...
tempo is the key....
possible solution:
1.Rh1 Bg5 2.Qh2+mate
1.Rh1 Be7 2.e3+mate
1.Rh1 Rxe2 2.Nxe2+mate
1.Rh1 BxB 2.Nd5+mate
1.Rh1 Re5 2.Qg4+mate
1.Rh1 BxN 2.Rh4+mate
sorry for not making the solution in white.......

The only solution is RH! followed by bh2 this is a fun puzzle because. The solution is a disovered posiional attack
Search the forums for 'Organ Pipes.' AllThatJazz posted this puzzle a year and a half ago. Then Nimzovich posted the original 'Organ Pipes' puzzle along with a short history of the many imitation puzzles.
cool

Dear Samh,
Your analysis of the puzzle evidentally hasnt been full, as it IS zugzwang and capturing the bishop WILL result in mate-in-2. Sorry.
Someone might of posted it, but here it is
1) Bc5, Bxh7. 2) Nd5#
1) Bc5, Bxc7. 2) Rh4#
1) Bc5, Rf8-f5. 2) Qf5#
1) Bc5, Re8-e5. 2) Qg4#
(answers in white)
I dont know if it was solved, but thats how i figured it out.
Sorry bossofdragon, that wasn't the solution, as the mate-in-2 can be blocked.
how?
1... Bg5
ooh, well thats a shame for me :[
Yeah, sorry. You can see the solution earlier in the thread.
Nice puzzle. I have seen this before. Maybe Chessmaster?

I wouldn't be surprised if you had seen this puzzle before. *Points to title*
Sir, if the rook moves, can black move the rook down to block the pawn or even go beside the king to prevent mate?
Aha, nice puzzle. I missed the move after Bg5, I was moving the wrong piece there. High quality ;)
