Mate in two.


A cute minimal material puzzle. 1.Kf6 Kf8 2.Rd8# Instructional for beginners since by process of elimination, it couldn’t be a rook move because of the bishop interference, so it has to be a king move.

This win by I.A. Horowitz from 1931 has a mating pattern finish that everyone should know. The first move is quite spectacular on its own!

If you have been with this column a while, you will probably get the first move, but how about the follow-ups?

H.R. Agnel once composed a problem that was a mate in six:

1.Rg8+ Rxg8 2.Qd8+ Qxd8 3.Rxd8+ Ke7 4.Rxg8 Nd6 5.Bc5 b6 6.Bxd6#,but there was a shorter mate in five. Can you find it?
