Puzzle

I like this puzzle a lot. It took me a few minutes to figure out.

Maybe it was because I just woke up, but this felt like it took me forever.

PUZZLE

Lol it took me seconds to figure this out what i like about this puzzle is the fact that there is still a castling option which still results in a two move checkmate

It took me some time before I could figure it out

Really slick.

I didn't see the castling option until excetrank pointed it out.

Definitely closer to three stars than two. There are some lines that require a bit of an imaginative leap.

Took me a while,

to get the first move. I've done it twice as well, with a different mate each time. Good one.

Totally unexpected

Very cool with the castling move

I found it counter-intuitive...

At first sight, I though, "the pawn would just take the bishop at c6 or the rook," but then I could see that, well, it would result in a quick mate for black in two moves. It's interesting that a move can sometimes look wrong, but it ends up being the strong move...

Great Puzzle!

I really liked this one. There were plenty of false moves to choose from. The solution was pithy!
