This problem was not created by me and is fairly well known.
Black to move. Checkmate in 2
-imghere-
Give everyone some time to think about it. Once you find the answer you will know you are right.
Are you sure that for this puzzle it's not mate in 3? I can encode a solution in binary if you so choose. Not seeing clearly a way for it to be mate in 2. Yes I am sure. It is hard to provide a clue without giving away the answer. |

I vote Qg4 from the plan below. Black can stop it by moving his king but we are about to lose a pawn anyway. At least we will be threatening something for once!
What do you guys think of this - 23.Nxd7 Rxd7 24.Qd1 Rd8 25.Nc1 c4 then maybe look at ideas with Qg4 threatening Bxh6 (trying to infiltrate his king side with our queen while his is at the other side of the board)

Bf1 will lose our e4 pawn Qg4 also loses a pawn after Kh7 Unfortunately I cannot suggest anything better. |

I am choosing to abstain from this voting process, but I would like to highlight a certain move. dxc4. After an exchange you can take with the bishop. Should they play Bg5, you have the option of playing f4. Qe2 is what we want to aim for after taking with the bishop. Black is still winning, but you manage to break up his structure.

I will abstain from voting too. We have no way to save our center from destruction.

I will say that although we cannot SAVE our center, we can at least break up their pawn structure for some compensation and hope to get counterplay on the queenside |

Qf1 loses the pawn to cxd3. It'll also lose the e4 pawn in due time. |

beat it:  go shit yourself, this is a social game. |
out of ability to use the signature, i want a new ban strike policy that will fade the strike after 90~120 days of the ban and not to be traced back, like google | email me for anything urgent, message will possibly not be instantly responded
i am not really active for some reason

Qf1 loses the pawn to cxd3. It'll also lose the e4 pawn in due time. You're forgetting that once the e4 pawn is taken and the bishop on g2 comes to the rescue, his Queen on a1 can come straight down , take our bishop and has a direct line to our King. If our Queen is off wandering the countryside, she can't intervene; Let him take our pawn first, then we take his and we haven't lost ground; By us taking first, his next move advances on our position. |
