Mate in 2

Logic Level 3

White to play. Mate in 2.

Give only the target square (the ending square of the piece you are going to move). Type the corresponding number of the letter. e.g.: e = 5. So if the target square is e4, then you would give 54.

Try not to use a chess engine when solving this problem!

The solution is 1.Qf7!! threatening 2.Be7 , 2.Re6 or 2.Nb5 checkmate . Black can't stop all of them.

Nice problem! Thanks for sharing it.

Did you compose the problem, or did you find it someplace?

I actually discovered it in a book I'm reading. This chess puzzle was composed by I. Shumov in 1878.
