Mate in 3 is tough so I thought a mate in 2 thread would be nice.

Theres a free rook to take. Forget about mating!

I did see the answer tho, after a while, damn those fens are small.

Nah, it's better to take his king than only a petty rook. The king is more valuable.

Heinzkat, try that mate in 3 if you dare, that problem can drive a man insane 😛

I agree this one was pretty obvious due to the check.
