Too easy, and my original two word comment is too short.

And my second try in eleven words is still too short.

That's because you need at least one character in the body of the comment...

I knew it had to be a horse .. which one? and where to move. took me a few seconds more then I should have.. but no hints.

What a difference a day (and a knight) makes!

Simple but nice. I started to look for 1.a3, dreaming about 2.Nb2++, but that pawn move releases b3 for the black king. After seeing that, it was obvious that would be a Knight move.
