    pm with the answer if you think you got it. It is a mate but I'm not going to tell you in how many moves. Its black to move.



    Edit: Qxf2+ is a mate in three but look for a different mate trust me there is one.

    now for you to find the more spectacular mate.

    Edit: It is more spectacular because it gives black more options but shuts them all down.

    Hmm...I can't seem to find another way to mate, I thought my way of mating was pretty spectacular though😉

    It was really good but the way I am looking for is torture(for white) because the key move is such an innocent looking move.

    Qxf2+ isn't really a forced mate at all. There is only one forced mate in this position.

    1... Qxf2+ 2. Kxd3 (forced) Rad8+ 3. Kc4 (forced) Be6+ 4. Qd5 (forced) Qc2#

    Looks like a forced mate to me.

    okay then I'm wrong but find a mate that is more spectacular and gives more options to white but everyone leads to mate the longest defense is 11 moves but I doubt anyone would be able to find the best defense over the board except the best players.

    after seeing this statement I started to doubt in the correctness of the other solution...
