White to Play and Mate in Two

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

Our last “holiday problem.” How can a two move mate be tricky? It is played under the old Staunton laws, specifically, Rule 21: “When a pawn is played to the eighth square, it may be exchanged for any piece the player may think fit.” Hmmm…


1.f8=Black bishop Kc6 2.Ne5 mate Hey, the rule said ANY piece.
