Yeah, 1...e5 would ruin that lousy plan of mine. Rooperi, how about this?
1.Kf8! e5 2.Qc7 e4 (2...Ke6 3.Qc6#) 3.Bg8#
1...e6 2.Bd3 e5 (2...Ke5 3.Qd4#) 3.e4#
1...Ke5 2.Kxe7 Kd5 3.Qb5#
1...Kc4 2.Kxe7 Kc3 (2...Kd5 3.Qb5#) 3.Qd4#
Godfrey Heathcote.
Sort:
2.Qe6 sure looks like mate to me... I thought the defense to that was 1...e5
You're right of course, I read Ke5 but looked at Ke4 ( I know, he cant go there, but it was late
