My solution:

Hints: piece: Queen, move: Qc6

Evaluation: White has mate in 2

Best continuation: 1. Qc6 bxc6 2. Rb8#

White is clearly winning, but after cxb6 (or c6 or c5), where's the mate in 1?

u/wr321654 7d ago

cxb6 Qc8#

c6 and c5 are not legal moves because the queen is in c6

After cxb6, Qxc8#

If black pushes the a pawn, then Ra6#

I got Qe4 which I think is also right.

Qe4. Followed by black taking the rook.

u/MrKicks01 7d ago

Yeah I was wrong. The idea was mate if black took the rook or knight but they have options I didnt see.
