MATE IN TWO
Sort:
so what the solution?
think I got it
It's another zugswang... I think white should make Ba3 and then it seems that every possible move black can make leads to mate...
c5 or cxb5 leads to Bxb7 and mate
If black moves the Knight then white makes Be6 and mate
And finally - if black moves the Bishop on d8 White mates with Nxc7
The problem with Be7 is that black can make a3... and now white has to mate with his very next move... which isn't possible...
Thats my take on it - correct HAMMIDUDDIN?
Hi all, Nice puzzle. Solution: h8= Queen, and nothing can stop mate at g8. Only maybe this move c5. But then Bxb7 mate
Umm... well if Qg8 as 2nd move for white then Ne6 for black and voila no mate in two... remember: It's mate in two... not three or four... but two...
Nxc7, Bxc7, Be6#

Nope, sorry... on 2. Be6 white can capture the other bishop with his king since it's no longer protected by the Knight :-) - no mate!
Agree with Filipuser, Ba3 was my take.
Hamiduddin, in your last, and in my opinion, far more difficult puzzle, you asked how to post a puzzle as a puzzle. Really very simple. Right after clicking on the chess board ikon, your 1st page has 3 choices, the top one, diagram has been pre-selected. The bottom one, puzzle, problem, challenge, is the one you want to select. After that, you can figure it out. The down side of doing so is that you don't get all the frustrated discussions.
