Here is a chess endgame puzzle where we’re looking for the winning move that leads to mate. It’s white to play. The answer will appear in my next post.

I noticed you left off the phrase “mate in 2 or mate in 3″
Is this because of
1. Qh8 Qf4
2. Kd7+ Qb8
If white trades queens, Black gets a draw.

Nick:

After 1. Qh8 Qf4 2. Kd7+ Qb8 as you mentioned, white wins with Q-a1.
