first one was seen instantly (under 0.5 secs), with second one I somehow managed to stumble ~25secs, and rest were between 3-10 secs each. im rusty.

the last one from ivan is neat.

There is some more mates in two while waiting for someone who will solve your problem !

Beware, this problems are harder, find ALL possible mates in two, there is more solutions than one (6 solutions on first problem, then 4, 5, and 6 again) ! Mate in two are for 7 years old, who said that before?! 😛

Here you go:
alright then.....if thats to darn hard --- lets change the rule....

Win the Queen is very easy.. after Kxf2 black plays Ng4+; Kg1, Be3+; Kh1, Nf2+ wins the Queen. Mate should go along the same lines - continue with Kg1, Nxd1+; Kh1, Nf2+; Kg1, Ne4+; Kh1, Nxg3+; hxg3, Qxg3. Here white has several choices to avoid the mate at g2: Rg1, Bf1 and Nh4. Rg1 loses after Bxg1 and no way to cover the g2 mate. Bf1 loses with Qxf3+, Bg2 and Qxg2 mate. Nh4 triggers Bg2+; Nxg2, Qh3 mate. Is that about 12 moves? Not sure.

The line I have written down is:

1... exf2+ 2. Kxf2 Ne4+ 3. Kg1 Be3+ 4. Kh1 Nf2+ 5.
Kg1 Nxd1+ 6. Kh1 Nf2+ 7. Kg1 Ne4+ 8. Kh1 Nxg3+ 9. hxg3 Qxg3 10. Rg1 Bxg1 11. Bf1 Qxf3+ 12. Kxg1 Qxf1+ 13. Kh2 Qg2# 0-1



So, it would seem you are correct, or at least, mostly correct.

Always the same, I post puzzle and everyone complains that is way too easy. Now I've put some harder mates in to and nobody wants to solve them 😕

Wozzup guys, too hard?! It is good for training you should try this four puzzles for 8 years old children !!

Qe5 threatens Qe8# and Qxh8# which black cannot defend against both threats.
