White to Play
Published in Chess Puzzles
This is another in our string of curious puzzles. There are 17 checks on the first move that are possible. Does one of them lead to mate in two? This was composed by H. Froberg.
Solution:
The great irony of this problem is that with all the checks, it’s the queen move to c3 that ends it in two. All the others can at best mate in three.
