Lot's of Ways to Win

But why struggle to checkmate in 12 when it can be done in two? My challenge is to consider EVERY possible checking move.

Lots of ways to win

But this puzzle is a way to shorten the steps to win. And these "shorter" steps in tactical exercises are what the tactical exercises are all about.

I am always fascinated by tactical exercises. They show me how to play chess better, and why my strategy to win is subservient to a better strategy.
