Do you believe in life after love? This feels like a mate Cher would make...Bishop to A6, Queen to B5

    Huh... that's funny - the link above with the puzzle didn't consider that move. Insists Pawn to D3 is black's response to the first move, marked it as solved on Queen to B5.

    I think you broke its brain. Congrats!

    Bishop to D8 gets checkmate in the alternative scenario.

    Nope. Knight to c7 blocks the bishop and keeps it from being a 2 move checkmate.
