i dont know if that first reply was deleted or my computer is screwed up, but i dont think it was right. pawn takes f5 messes it up, i tried that already. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

pawn f4, move bishop, then back to mate when black pawn moves.

My solution
 

Damn this was a hard one!

Originally I posted pawn @ f4
1.Be6 g5 2.Bf7# but black just plays 1...gxf5 and it doesn't work

But this does - pawn @ h2
1.h4! to cover g5 1...gxh3 e.p forced 2.Bxg6# now that the Rook covers g6

Re: My solution
 

i figured it out apparently same time as you, but i didnt get as fancy!
did you do the first one? it wasnt as tricky, but oh well

Re: My solution
 

I'll chew on it if I get time.

Who am I kidding, there's nothing going on at work today =)
