White mates in 7
Originally posted by BigDoggProblemThe first move would be Bd3, then black would make a pawn move, then Kf2, Nd1, Ke2, Nc3, Ke3, Nd1, Kd2, Nc3, Kxc3 (I think the x denotes a piece capture; I'm still not sure about proper chess notation), another black pawn move, then Bxb5 mate.

Edit: Egh, I think I missed something here. Probably Bc4 as the starting move would give the white king a better advantage as it tries to move up to force the knight off the c3 square.
Originally posted by crazyblueThis idea can be made to work faster. There is a forced mate in 7.
that one was tricky. first i didnt see anything at all, then i found mate in 6 and didnt see how black could last longer, but now it seems to be mate in 8 indeed. here's my line:
1. Bc4 h5 2. Kf1 h4 3. Kg2 h3+ 4. Kxh3 f6 5. Kg4 f5+ 6. Kf3 f4 7. Be6 any 8. Bc8#
