Not sure why you didn't use....

xc7 xg2
xg2 f1#

To me this is a more elegant solution with the pin ....

Why is it so difficult to identify the piece that moves? There are two pieces that can capture the pawn on g2. Which one is it?

Maybe I'm dense.. don't understand your question. I'm just saying my way does it in two moves... yours in 3... Tomato/Tomaaaato... whatever.

Sorry, I disagree. This is what I get, using your kind of notation:

1. xc7 xg2
2. d6 xg1+
3. xg1 xd6
4. g2 d5+
5. h3 g5
6. a3 f3#

Three Moves

If there is a two move solution then make it an alternate and the others get excised.

Also, use the sensible notation. Something takes something isn’t informative.

sorry guys I'm still new to notation. Trying to figure it out. I just made the moves and copied what GK did. Don't want to upset anyone
