Talk about eternal torture

I wish they'd speed up the hint button. Bring on "Mate in 75,198,317,026,909,897".

I still don't get it

I have posted some comments on puzzles in the past, but this is the most stupid solution I have seen in a long time. Maybe it is because I am not the world's best chess player, but this puzzle just baffles me. There are numerous good moves along the way that are just... not. I still don't get it.

It's wonderful

I don't like puzzles, but it must be assumed that the solution is correct, so it means that the key, and no other move, is the only one to get black mated, regardeless any moves black may do (the most of them are forced). So it's wonderful. If you don't like puzzles, like me, you may say that you don't like it, but not that it is incredibly complex and well done. They are different things.

It's hard to appreciate something you don't understand!

For all

Check the "All moves graph" in the puzzle window (located under "Options...") to see all alternative defenses and their following mates.

This is one of the greatest puzzles I've ever seen. Not that hard, either. Yes it took me about 20 minutes to find the pattern, but once that's done it's easy. It's just a series of discovered checks that aren't that difficult to find.
