Black to move, there are two solutions, one is checkmate in 2, the other is checkmate in 3 (when I say checkmate in 2, I mean for black, so there will be one white move, so in total there are 3 moves and for the second solution 3 moves for black and two moves for white which is 5 total moves)
Try to find both
Give your answer in algebraic notation (chess notation)
This is a step by step of your solution:
It doesn't work, but thank you for attempting it. I appreciate it.
That is not possible The first solution is: Rook G1+ (The plus means it is check) Because it is checked, the white king captures the rook on g1 And then rook to f1 which is double check and is checkmate Second solution: Rook g1+ again White king captures it Rook to g2+ King to h1 rook to g1
Black castle from g2 to h2, white horse takes castle, castle takes horse. Checkmate
