 Kd6 escapes.

I can't see a mate in one here and Re4 is not the answer for sure as Kxe4, although he will lose his Bishop after that.

 I meant that Qh1# follows Re4 and Kxe4. The puzzle is mate in 2 moves (see in yellow to the right).


 Fair enough, can't see the whole thing as the forums postings come right down the side of the Board.

so whats the move sequence, because if 1, Re4, ...Kxe4 2, Qh1+

the king would escape to d4
