Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

This is our concluding tribute to Bob Lincoln’s two-move miniature compositions. This one is a perfect two-mover for the average solver because it offers so many “tries.” Only one move gets the mate in two, though.


Solution:

1.Qc7 Rh7 [1...Rh4 2.f8=N# (2.Ng7#) ; 1...Rxe8 2.fxe8=Q#; 1...Rg8 2.fxg8=Q#] 2.f8=N#
