Not me

Once I found the second move of this mate in two, I didn’t bother to search for a third move

This was hard

...because none of the possible queen sacrifices worked.I was forced to eventually consider moves that did NOT involv a queen sacrifice.

Finally!

I found the solution right away. For the first time ever, I get to say to all the 1700+ rated players: "I wonder why the solved rate is so low?" lol

forced

The first move is the only possible to givea discovered check and avoid the queen to be captured and as black alos menace check(mat), it is the only possible move,

We all agree

Yes, we all agree this is (almost) too easy......
I wish we all agree about (much) more important things......
