Impossible Chess Puzzle?
Sort:
This is a puzzle i found in a really old newspaper. Its mate in 2 moves but i spent an hour on this and can't solve it. It might have been a mistake made by the author. Anyone know the solution?
Very hard indeed, but not impossible. I have the solution.
Keep looking! 
But when 1.Qe3 Kg8 2.Ne7+ what stops 2...Kh7?
Thanks everyone! I was thinking along the lines of Qe7.
Sorry about my last comment here is one solution:
1. Qd3 Ke6
2. g8=B#
if 1... Kg8
2.Ne7# mate
it's over does it matter?????????
Have you never seen or heard of the concept of a puzzle?

1.Nf4 is not check, and 1...Kf8 is illegal.
I think this second solution is correct! :-)

The moderator "corrected" his original post, Prog, so this one doesn't make sense anymore. I guess he forgot to delete it for you.
Qe7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another solution:
1. Nf8
if ... Kg8 2. Qb3#
if ... Kf6 2. g8=Q#
