Almost-Impossible Chess Puzzle: White Checkmates in Two
Author: Chess King Admin
Remember games where you were way too much material up and then couldn’t win, but drew by landing in a stalemate? Often, handling too much of fire-power sometimes puts you at risk. The trick is to maintain your calm and focus until the very last move. In the position on the left, White has to checkmate in two.

(1…¢f4 2.¥d6# (0:00:06) 1.f8=B)
2.¥d4# (0:00:13) 1.
Yes, the trick is in the Bishop because making a Rook or Queen will put the Black King in stalemate!

Cool! Under promotion puzzles are always fun. He could’ve also promoted to a knight then after Kf6 Nh7 mate
Knight promotion doesn’t work because on Nh7 the King goes back to original square of e5
he could just play kg4
oh i saw now, its wrong
I think any move by White even Kg4 is like stalemate! So it has to be Knight Even Bishop is not checkmate in two. Interesting puzzle.
It has to be Bishop not Knight Ali
Why not a Rook at f8 it’s not stalemate then?
a rook on f8 is actually stalemate
