Mate in 2 puzzle

@Eladar
Yes, makes sense. I read an explanation of how to win with K+P against K if the pawn isn't on a or h. Surprising how easy it looks afterwards!

@petewxyz

This puzzle was great because it forces you to look beyond simply your move. To get it you have to look at all the moves black could make then see the mate.

It is not something you see at chesstempo or in tactics books.

Sorry, I'm not getting this. Could someone put the solution on a board were you can see the pieces move?

Thanks in advance.
