Mate in two.. Quite difficult.

please, as a #2[*] this is not quite quite - hardly any "tries" - you want really difficult mate-in-2s i could supply a 100 but why bother - there are lots on the internet.

[*][as mate-in-2 probs. are called in problem-composition]

Mate-in-2 newbies can search for and download "matemaster 1.5" -  it is a matefinder [for white only] that comes with 100 not-difficult problems. (Average level: only somewhat higher then this.]

 I'll post a few *good* mate in 2 problems in a new thread next month.

 actually it is - there are no duals i.e. against any other first move by white, black can avoid mate-on-white's-next-move [also known as "mated in 1" or "mate in -1"].

You want a mate-in-2 problem where white's first move is forcing? That would be below the radar --- sub-trivial :) 

 i meenknight b3- pawn c4

rook  e5+ - king d4

queen d6 mate

mine wont work i cant move the peicies

hard one

are you going to leave him there or take him a ladder ?

Re5 Kc4 Qh4++

Hi Brendon it's Wade.Hackett. that one was ezy because you tought me that one at H.S.P.S

There is another solution to this one:

Nb2 any, Re5#

I see a few possibilities:

first possibility: 1.Re4 is the most effective. Whatever black does white has a move to checkmate.

second possibility: If black plans to take the knight on a4. 2.Qe6 would be checkmate. But it is not sure to happen

third possibility:if white plays 1.Nc6 then black takes the knight with the bishop, then 2.Qe6 is checkmate.But i isn't sure to happen...

I'll go with the first possibility...

WOW! Sorry, but this is really easy... (even if my rating is 1400) rook e5 then Qh4 #. Thanks for the puzzle, BrendanNorman!

 even with Kd4, if the queen checks, the bishop can stand in the way, by going to g7

 Hi Wade it's Leiming. Did you go to chess coaching?

its not that hard...

hi wade.??? Boo Hornsby South, na just kidding
