bzzt. Qxh8
This is a trick problem. Either Ra1 or Rh8 would mate if that pesky queen on h1 weren't there. So find a move that sets up zugzwang forcing the queen to move off of that square.
>>684856802
Not mate cause Qxh8...

>>684857377
Can someone confirm mine works?
>>684857377
Nvm... doesn't work
>>684857377
but that's more than two moves. This problem is a mate in 2.
Rook at h2 checks king at h8, black queen forced to take rook. Rook at c1 checkmate at a1
>>684856537
Is this bait? It's mate in one two different ways what the fuck
>>684857377
At a glance, I think pg1(Q) busts your solution.
It's simple.We kill the Black Queen.
>>684857918
Then the queen takes that rook, too.

Black moves should be forces, so:

mate in 2.
>>684859910
what about this?
i'm no professional, but this seems possible
Rook c1 takes h8.
black's only two moves are to promote on g1 or to take and promote on h1.
either way swing the rook on h2 over to a2
gg.

WE HAVE THE ANSWER FOLKS

1... gxh8 is not forced. Even if it were, it would promote to a queen and take the rook on a1.
>>684860920
When the pawn takes it becomes a queen and can capture the rook.
>>684860990
If g1=Q then Ra2 results in Qa7. Still winning but not forced in two.

>>684862059
no...
>>684862165
King can move to a7
plus black would probably promote to Q
OK faggots, explaining this shit.
Rook on c1 moves to g1
Black can't move the king or pawn so must take one of the rooks with the queen
The other rook can then put black in mate.
>>684856537
knight c1a1 - > mate.
>>684858692
A.) thats a pawn
B.) Your solution doesnt work.
Rxg2 -- Qxg2
Ra1+ -- Qa2
Two moves are up you lose fuckstick.
>>684856537
Rc2, black moves queen either to take the rook at h2 or to a1. Use the rook black doesn't target to #
>>684863263
Meant c3. My bad
>>684856537
R(c1)xQ
PxR=Q
R–a2 mate
>>684858516
Yeah, white has so much fire power at this position that this isn't really that obvious.
>>684863263
how are you not seeing that any move thats not forcing ends with his queen checking white?
>>684862440
Nevermind, just realized that black Qe1+ would destroy that move.
>>684862678
But King can't move to a7, and promoting the pawn would not help, Don't see any other move than Qe1+ for that situation.
Well, some anon found the right move. Congrats.
>>684858194
this. rook takes queen, then move other rook to a1. are you all fucking retarded?
Only ONE solution Rg1
>>684862026
I already solved it here...
Queen goes to c8 then king has to move to a7, so R goes to c7 and it's mate...
>>684862257
>this. rook takes queen, then move other rook to a1. are you all fucking retarded?
Well tard boy, when the pawn takes the rook it will become a queen. That queen will the take the a1 rook.
As an added bonus, if the second queen is taken by the rook it is a stalemate
>>684858516
CORRECT
>>684858516
is it zugzwang?
>>684856537
lol guys.
2h to 1h
then c1 to a1
checkmate
>>684864549
Pawn promotes to Queen and obliterates you. Good job.
>>684864871
didnt know that was a pawn lol
>>684858516
>>684863407
Either of these works.
>>684864871
then even easier. 2h to 1h, then 1c to 1h
>>684856537
Rh2-g2
black can move only Queen but => next white move could be:
Rc1-a1# or Rg2-g8#
>>684856537
rb1, rh8
>>684866263
isn't that 3 moves thou?
1. Rxg2 Qxg2
2. Ra1
Mate is unavoidable
>>684856537
Qb6 +Q(c1 or h2), R(c8 or h8) for mate
>>684862924
isn't that 3 moves?
>>684868860
"White ... in two moves" means two moves by White. The counter-move by black is not included in that number.
>>684862924
... is one of two correct solutions that I can see—my own (c1xh1) being the other.
Rook at C1 to a1 (check)
Queen at H1 MUST take rook at a1 to remove check.
Rook at H2 to H8 Checkmate.
>>684870322
Nope—what stops Qxh8?
>>684856537
Rh1

>>684871653

And we have a chicken dinner
>>684856537
German here dont know english figure names
But
C1 x h1
Black must move peasant
No matter if x h,
c1-g1
If queen x g1
H2-h8 checkmate
If Q x h2
G1-a1 checkmate
Sieg heil!
>>684872445
Sorry skip first 5 lines f tablet
This is a ridiculously easy 'puzzle.' Are /b/ retards being deliberately dumb? I mean, the suggestions actually seem serious.
Too many people are trying to mate with a rook on a corner (either a1 or h8). Either you must force the queen off the corner (h1), or you have to use a rook not on a corner. Why? Because the Q on a1 captures h8, and vice-versa.
R–g1 works because K cannot move and P cannot move, forcing Qxg1 or Qxh2, leaving the other rook free to mate.
Rxh1 works because: if P–g1=Q, R–h8 mate; or, Pxh1=Q, R–a2 mate.
>>684873409
Mine works
>>684872445
>>684856537
>Take the queen
>he concedes
that's how you play chess
>>684873558
Sure, and another person or two have said the same thing.
But all these other retards? Wtf. Take the queen, check mate. I know this was a troll thread by OP, but holy shit /b/ is stupid.
>>684873939
Yeah but this one was tricky.
And yes, the average b-tard is stupid as fuck.
>>684857377
no, Qb6 Qe1 and you're fucked
>>684873514
>if P–g1=Q, R–h8 mate
wups, shit, that's the only three-move scenario of the three, since Q–g8 Rxg8 mate. My bad.
Can someone post another?
>>684856537
H2-H1
C1-A1
Winning.
>>684874948
Still wrong.
You're all retarded.
The correct answer is Rg1.
This forces zugzwang--the only possible move for Black is to capture one of the rooks, and regardless of which rook it captures, the other rook is then free to attack the White king (either Ra1# or Rh8#).
/thread
>>684875096
That is one of two correct answers.
>>684856537
Easy shit.
Rg2, remaining room to column a.
Kill the queen first. Then there is no move other than moving the pawn. Kill the pawn, and the king has no survivable moves.
>>684875091
No, you're an idiot
>>684856537
easy
rook to b1
then queen to a5 or rook to h8
>>684875279
>>684875096
No, not true. The recovered queen will take out the rook OR block/kill the white queen (if it moves in path of diagonal) from an attack, making the win in 3 moves or more.
>>684875547
You go on believing that.
Qb6
If Qxc1, then white mates with Rh8#. The only other response for black is Qxh2, which leaves white to mate with Ra1#
>>684875725
Not true; see >>684873514 with my follow-up correction
>>684875614
Does this work?
Qd7
Retards.
Hell if I know the correct syntax for chess moves but:
1) Move white queen one square up to C8
2) Black king in check, his only move is to A7
3) White Rook from C1 to C7
4) Checkmate
bam
>>684875614
>>684875959
No, black queen checks king
>>684876227
b6, bro, b6
>>684875279
>one of two correct answers
This is false; Rg1 is the only answer to win in two.
The other suggestion was Rcxh1 (or Rhxh8--they are equivalent) which is parried by pxh1=Q (as opposed to the suggested g1=Q which is useless).
>>684856537
Rook to b1.
If queen takes rook at B1, then Rook to H8 checkmate.
If queen takes rook at h2, then queen to a5 checkmate.
>>684876227
King to b6
>>684876893
>The other suggestion was Rcxh1 (or Rhxh8--they are equivalent) which is parried by pxh1=Q (as opposed to the suggested g1=Q which is useless).
That is incorrect, as I've explained—though I messed myself up in the process.
R(c1)xh1 can be parried only by P–g1=Q or Pxh1=Q, as you correctly note. In either event, R–a2 is mate—the new Q cannot interfere.
>>684877481
Well, fuck me, that's wrong. Only if Pxh1=Q can she not interfere; if P–g1=Q then it's a three-move. My bad.
>>684877481
Can you tell me why
>>684877126
would be invalid?
>a2
I stand, corrected.
>>684877833
Nevermind, Read the thread where someone else suggested it.
>>684877833
Because R–b1 does not place the king in check; instead, it frees up the queen to do anything she wants, including any move that places your King in check, allowing her to capture any piece in danger when your king is forced out of the way.
>>684877481
>>684878029
Hahaha--I spoke too soon; but you almost had me. Should have trusted my intuition.
Rg1 is correct. :D
>>684878469
Disregard that last bit, that's inaccurate, the Q still can't move off of 1. Still, that means not in two moves.
>>684856537
Move queen up one then move rook up below queen.
>>684878513
Yeah Rxh1 does work, but only if Pxh1=Q. If P–g1=Q, it becomes three moves.
