- Something on the K-flight to f6 has to be prepared. The key (threat 2. Qf5#) blocks f6 by a wP and so takes that flight square, in turn e6 is given. Some mates are transferred from the set 1.. f6, Nf6 2. Qc5#, Qc7# and in the solution 1.. fxe6, Bxe6 2. Qc5#, Qc7#. Several other nice mates are shown 1.. Ra2, Bxb7, Ne4 2. Nc4# (this changes the set mate 2. Bxd4#), Nd7#, Qxe4#. A good chess puzzle.
