New Rules Chess. White to play and mate in 2.
New rules.
You can take your own pieces or pawns.
All other laws of chess must be obeyed.

[FEN "4b3/2N1P1Bn/3p2pP/n2N1kP1/6R1/7B/7p/1Kb5 w - - "]
1. Rf4+ Kxg5 2. Ne6+ Kh5 3. Bg4+ Kh4 4. Bf6+ {this would be checkmate if not for the Knight at h7. I don't have time for 4.Bd4 and 5.Bf2 checkmate because of 4...Bxf4}
[/pgn]
Even though I could not get ...[text shortened]... . Ne6+ Kh5 3. Bg4+ Kxh6 4. Bg7# {Checkmate and If 3...Kh4 then 4.Bf2 checkmate}
[/pgn]
