I didn't get a thought of a better title :)

I am trying to solve a problem which is white to move and mate in 2 moves.

To be frank, I am not asking all problems here. On my own I solved more than 50 and stuck up in nearly 15 (don't worry I will not ask all here itself, I am still trying to solve them)

    I thought Nd4 was only a waiting move. Somehow, I missed Rg4+.

Qxa7

if d4 then simply move the queen back to b7 (mate)

if black moves the bishop instead then simply Qxh7 (mate)

    "if d4 then simply move the queen back to b7 (mate)" -- not mate: d5 blocks.

  • Since your answer is simply wrong, and a correct answer already exists, the polite thing to do would be to delete your answer (unless it could somehow be salvaged).
