Mate in 7????

This is an original by me. I hope you enjoy it. I haven't had time to check for all possible plays yet, so fingers crossed....



Please PM solutions, and if you would please rate this on difficulty. thanks.

Sorry about that crazy, I forgot the [ fen ] brackets. lol

I'm not so good with the code. Can you make a fen/picture somehow?

no takers? hmm. I didn't think it would be that hard of a problem...

I think you intend for Black to move and mate...and I don't think it takes 7 moves to get there. Sol PM'ed.

In this problem, the colours seem not to have importance. Perhaps it's just a fen problem.
Swap colors of the pieces and it will be white to move.

I have mate in six for Black... several possibilities too along the way.

Here was what my longest original solution would have looked like
1. ... Nc5+ 2. Ka2 Rxa4+ 3. Kb1 Bc4 4. Ne3+ Kd2 5. Nxc4+ Rxc4 6. Ka2 Ra4+ 7. Kb1 Ra1#

But as SwissGambit pointed out you can win in 6 by playing 3. ... Kd2!! Sorry for the bum problem.
