Mate in 1

While I'm on the subject of puzzles, try this one: White to play and Mate in 2. I invented this one too.

One person has PMed me with the solution of,
Bc5 Anything
Ra8#
This is right.

A new one:

You already posted this puzzle and I already pm'ed you the answer.

Sorry! I need some hard puzzles. You have it right, by the way. This is just as easy. Once again, only PM me the answer please.

Here is a puzzle of mine. Well, actually I saw the basic idea somewhere, I think in a game, but that was some time ago, so I dare to say that I created a puzzle.



White seems hopelessly lost but is he? -> White to move and mate in three.

Edit: Oops, then the black queen is on e1

youre puzzles are fun to solve. its good practice solving easy mate problems. i really like your endgame puzzle, you should work more on these that have less obvious solutions. i like problems that do not start with a check or capture

I will be missing something, but isn't there a mate in 2?

Thanks. I created the endgame mate puzzle after a thought during a game I am playing.

No, you aren't missing anything, but I am. So I modified the puzzle, moved black queen to e1 and added a white bishop on b8.

OK:
Ne8 Qxe3
Rf6#
The only problem is the;
Ne8 Rf7

1.Ne8 Rf7 2.Rf6+! Rxf6 3.Ng7#

Maybe:
Ne8 Rf7
Nd6 Kf6/e6
Nc8++

Correct. After Ne8, Rf6 is the only move to prevent Rf6#.
