Two Move Mate: Difficult

Sort:
alex_walsh

I just recently bought Award Winning Chess Problems for the great price of $6. The great thing about the book, besides being 122 very difficult two move mates, is that, since they are all award winning problems, they are from different sources and therefore avoid the problem of many chess problem books, such as Chess, of producing variations on a theme. If you like this problem, let me know and I'll post some of the more difficult ones.

Interesting one, Robot. Maybe you can post a more difficult one next?

Very hard for a two mover.

Lol. You can't imagine my madness when I realized that the pawn was on f2 and not c7!

Histers_Commadant

Psss. You call that difficult? I've had more difficult dumps in my sleep while I pass a kidney stone from you're mothers grave. Thanks for wasting my time!Tongue out

Pretty tricky IMO. Only criticism I have is that there are no board coordinates, making it impossible to say for sure which direction Black's pawn moves in.

Thanks for posting!

Nice puzzle!

I agree with an_arbitrary_name, you need to have board co-ordinates in your puzzles. Given that we're playing white, you'd think the orientation would be obvious, but you'd be surprised at the number of people who come along and think they're clever with their upside-down boards in their puzzles, making it impossible for us to solve them.

Thanks guys, I WILL have board coordinates in the future puzzles. As a humorous aside, I had to construct this puzzle twice, having deleted the first one- on that first one I had put coordinates, I simply forgot. Glad you all enjoyed it (except for that prk hister {means hitler})lol
