That's not checkmate...black still has another move.
Whew, there's some really angry people over this problem who eally don't understand how to have a little fun
Can chess.com or one of its subsidiaries refund me for the five minutes I wasted reading this post?
Can you post the solution?
I think it's an awesome puzzle/trivia question... to make it fair you have to say something like: this puzzle relies on the <1932 interpretation of the castling rule.
(I just made up 1932 as an example... was there ever really a time when this mode of castling would have been a possible legitimate reading of the "official" rules of chess?)
extremely funny
Good puzzle, I also like post #20!

tricky tricky :)......but thats akin to the magic trick of sawing a woman in half...at first glance youre like.."how did he just do that!!", then once you take a good look you feel stupid for buying into that idea in the first place.....nice smoke and mirrors buddy :D
Is a swordfish a fish? (is stalemate a mate ?)
Be aware that the title of the puzzle says just "Mate in 2 ...",
it does'nt specify the kind of mate to achieve,
so answer #3 (stalemate) is definitely the best answer.
What in the world was that????????????????
fascinating, but no longer (circa 1972) legal
