Force mate in 2
Sort:
How about Nxc7 Kf8 (or Kd8) Qe8 mate?
Why is this set as a puzzle if there are no moves?

if 1.Nxc7+ Kf8, then 2. Qe8+ leads to 2...Qxe8+
1. Qd5 Rxe6 2. Qh8#
1. Nxc7++ (this is double check, so Black can't block with Re6, otherwise this would force a mate in 3)
1. ... Kd8 or Kf8 (doesn't matter which one Black picks; these are the only 2 legal moves)
2. Qe8#

I assume you didn't read heavyop's response to that exact same line 2 posts earlier? If so you would realize that doesn't work.
