White plays, the Black tries to find adequate answer, but in the second move White mates.
You may try sacrifices, checks, anything you can think of, anyway the key-move is unique.

Solution : [Tries : {1.Sxf7+? Ke6!}, {1.Re4+? Kf5!}, {1.Rxd5+? Kxd5!}, {1.Qe4+? Rxe4!}, {1.Kh6+? / Kh7+? / Kf8+? / Kg8+? f6!} Key : 1.Qf5+! 1…Kxd4 2.Qxf4# 1…Kxf5 2.Rxd5#, 1…Bxf5 2.Sc6#, 1…Rxf5 2.Re4#, 1…gxf5 2.Kxf7# We see a checking key with a queen sacrifice, which can be captured by four black pieces. The interesting thing here is the Anti-triple : Bd7xf5 / Rf4xf5 / g6xf5, where from the three mating moves Sc6 / Re4 / Kxf7 only one is valid after each black move.] |
