A straight forward Chess Puzzle !

Rook-E3 forces King D6 followed by QE7 mate?..... er except the king move isn't forced - Bish can block... back to the drawing board.

 

EDIT: - Actually, yea - R-E3 whatever he does it's over next move I think.

I used to enjoy chess problems, they are hard to find these days but this one was too quick so I probably missed something.

 

But isn't the first move B7 x H1 (Bishop takes Bishop) ?

 

 

 

White moves to mate in two !

I can't see that move achieving anything, at least not mate in 2. Not wanting to deflect from this thread, this chess site has a couple of problems every day plus enough in the history to keep you busy for quite some time: https://gameknot.com/. The problems are really good because you can animate the moves and try things out, and you get a score for your attempts.

Seems to work OK to me in two moves.

 

The black king can't move on his first move and the black bishop prevents mate in 1 so removing it seems a good option.

 

But thank you for the references.

TY studiot !

 

If B7 x b is the first move then Black can play say n x B

 

What next :

 

The resulting position is :

Yes I know but you wanted one and the rule I remember was in exactly 2 not in at most 2.

 

I will work on it again when I have finished responding to other questions.


OK I now make the first move rook to e3 - check.

 

Blocking with the bishop is countered by queen to e6 edited
