I like it.  Thanks.  You didn't post the solution, though.  I can find mate in 3.  Posted here in puzzle format.

Be7 Kd4

I see several mate in 3's but confess to getting "flustered" if it means what I think it does

I don't think there's a mate in 2. 

If this were a real game I would definitely play Bxb3 next move as it's a no brainer from there.  Could just play it like a Q + K against K if opponent didn't resign.  Interesting to look for efficient mating patterns in the postion though.

Excuse me, Raito, but I beat you by 14 minutes, I am now flustered again.  Everybody's always pretending I don't exist.

I should mention that I was being facetious in my last post. Great puzzle and I think you were right not to post a solution as I almost certainly would have cheated and peaked as, so often, puzzles posted here have mistakes or are essentially helpmates.

Raito,

Was this your own creation or did you find it somewhere?

1. Bc4 Kd4

2. Qf4#

 

If 1... Nd4

Then 2. Bd6#

 

If 1... Nd2

Then 2. Bc3#
