Joined 13 Jan '08 Moves 550 Oh yeah. Told you that I only glanced. Thanks GP.
I'll check it harder.

Joined 31 May '07 Moves 696 Yep, zzyw has one solution. Congratulations. There are also two more possibilities.
Joined 29 Apr '05 Moves 827 nice, double blindness from me. neither did i see that posting, nor the solution. i just thought, it probably has to start with d-pawn (or another pawn) cause i couldnt find anything for e-pawn. good puzzle! 🙂

Joined 02 Mar '06 Moves 17881 not sure if this counts as a "different" solution to the one above, but 1.d4 2.Qd3 3.Qh3 4.Qxc8# works... same idea as 3.Qf5 though
Joined 13 Jan '08 Moves 550 Yep Aethereal, I'm assuming that they have to be radically different...🙁
Joined 31 May '07 Moves 696 well that is one, so there's one more solution left. It's just that Aethareal won himself no friends by posting it 😉
Joined 05 Jun '07 Moves 906 1. c4 c5 2. Qa4 Qa5 3. Qc6 Qc3 4. Qxc8#.
This was somewhat easy due to the fact that 4. Qxc8# has to be the 4th move.
Joined 13 Jan '08 Moves 550 I always assumed that in order for there to be three, they might be different. It'd be more fun that way, at least.
