Two white moves Mates(3)

White mates in two by J.C.van Gool

Good challenge! I believe the composers name is J.C. van Gool but allas ....

@ Arisktotle lol I knew you would find something.Do you think it relaxed to count every square that the g bishop could stop on that the a bishop takes to mate to achieve the record,it also happens with the 1st row Q thats 10 checks they are counting.I was looking for 21 checks when i was trying to solve .Slowed me down but made me understand more what the author was talking about. 

Yep! In fact, you might consider the 3x7 line mates a bit cheap because they are only 3 really different mates but that is common in record problems. Only the numbers matter!

I thought the white king was in check lol.Otherwise good puzzle. Perhaps showing the coordinates is better for this position

Yeah, it is amazing that such a huge chess-site pays so little attention to providing a decent puzzle interface! And on top of it, the interface in version 3 is even worse than the one in version 2. They are going backward!

Chess culture is dominated by the Spikes. We Johnnies are of lesser interest.

(These are two of the three main "psychographic profiles" that Wizards of the Coast uses to define the player base of the collectable card game Magic the Gathering. "Johnny" is the creative gamer to whom Magic is a form of self-expression. "Spike" is the competitive player. Spike plays to win.)

So chess Johnnies of the world, rise up!

@Anselan winning for the puzzle solver is finding the key that uncovers the imagination that went into the composition.Kind of like learning to really listen to the thought that went into a piece of music.So let the spikes have their win I'll go after mine.

Happy for the spikes to have their wins. Issue is that both spikes and johnnies just have an old valve radio to listen with: it's fine for hearing sports results, and pop music but more serious music sounds really awful with it!
