Oh yes, without you mentioning Nxd3, I would never have thought of the solution ???? Except that I posted white's two moves after that black try. Very funny.

You posted a concept - no actual lines.
That concept was false for a huge multitude of moves which you included with the verbage "anything else" in a puzzle which only meets criteria one way. The bishop battery makes for a faster mate. Black must kill the bishop battery. Therefore the "anything else" is irrelevant and incorrect in a puzzle which can only be solved by one black response on move 2.

You did not detail that one, singular, response. Anything else is incorrect. You clearly included a huge amount of other moves.

Just the same as saying "Rxh7 - Got it!!!! its forcing!!!" isn't the right answer.

There is nothing funny about it.

(anything incorrect by black makes for a faster mate, anything incorrect for white; a slower one)
