White to move and checkmate in 2 moves
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something different today:
Let us look at the following chess game:
Board Set-up:
White is a bit greedy and falls for a trap!
1. Nd4 Qh4
2. Nxc6 Qxh2#
White sees the trap, blocks, gets the Bishop, but Black still finds a way to win.
2. g3 Qh3
3. Nxc6 Rxa3
4. Bxg7 Rg8
5. Bf6 Bxg2
6. hxg2 Raxg2
7. fxg2 Rxg2+
8. Kf2 Qh2#
8. ..... Qg2#
What White could have done...
3. Nf3
3. ....... Bxf3 (? Yes / No ? )
4. Qxf3

The first to for today is quite easy - you will easily find the answers.
The last one: This is a great win for black! If you count how many points he is behind, pieces he is down, this is an incredible come back win. Just goes to show, never give up, no matter how far you are behind.
But, if it was white's move, it would have been checkmate in one move!
