deniswilson 27-Aug-11, 02:32 » Report abuse	1.Qe4 dxe4 2.c5#
terzaghi 27-Aug-11, 02:44 » Report abuse	@deniswilson you're right, i missed that!
fezzik 27-Aug-11, 06:13 » Report abuse	Nice puzzle! After 1.Qh3? Black has about 5 different ways to prevent mate in one. 1.Qh3? ed4 seems to be the best. After 1.Qe4, Black has a number of moves, but they all get mated, most by Qg6. The trickiest in most lines is 1...dxc4. After 1.Qe4 dc4 2.Qxe5#. After 1.Qe4 de4 2.c5#
