Try to Find the M1

ToastBread_1

Well, many people were making threads like this so I decided to make one, since I'm good at making puzzles.

So here is my puzzle, try to find the Mate in 1/Mate in 1s. I made it a photo that you can't analyse it without setting up the board. It might be kind of easy, I'm not saying it's impossible but I'd say it's defintely hard.

So before I talk even more without showing the puzzle, here is the puzzle:

White to move, find the Mate in 1/Mate in 1s.

Edit: If you want to solve more of these puzzles, I will post them sometimes in this forum. You can go to that comment and solve it.

I wrote where is the puzzles below, it can change as sometimes comments get deleted. I will try to update them if this happens. Enjoy the puzzles!

Good luck!

I think Ba2, Qc4, Qd5, Bd5, Nf8 and Ngf4 are all mate, and that's all.

Qe4 doesn't work. The f7 pawn is undefended. The mate has to be something that checks the king and attacks f7 at the same time.

My bad. But you still forgot Ba2 lol.

Which bishop would you want to move to c4? The one that's pinned?

1. d4 Queen is pinned.

2. Bd5 hangs the d7 pawn.

3. No Knight move would work as it gives away the control of e7 and f7 pawn is hanging.

Only Ba2# is correct. Nice try, though. happy.png

I agree with your analysis. In this case, I think Ba2# is the one and only mate in the position because it seems to be the only move that x-ray defends the f7 pawn (Bg5+ hangs d7 and doesn't work despite defending f7 as well), but if the puzzle creator could confirm that, it would be great happy.png @ToastBread_1

Yeah, Ba2# was the only checkmate here. I think it was hard because there were so many pieces but only a few were defending 7th rank, Ba2# was also hard to see because it wasn't close to the enemy King. But the hard part was to see if there were more checkmates or not. Congratulations!

surely bg2 to d5 mate also works @toastbread-1 ?

Bd5+ blocks the Queen and hangs the d7 pawn, so it is not correct.
