hey, new to this, but couldn't you mate on white's seventh move by putting your rook on e4?

exellent, just one question: did you find the puzzle somewhere or u made it up. either way thanks for posting!
Cuchulainn, You cant checkmate with your rook on the seventh move since the black pawn can take the rook and save the king!! But i can see how you've missed it.
Good job. All kinds of cool moves--And checkmate with one pawn! Awesome.
ah!
thanks kasparov.
Awesome puzzle!!!!!!!
"Checkmate in 9" should be stipulated somewhere. As a 'white to move' puzzle, it is not stellar. White is clearly winning after 1.Bxf3, 1.Rh4, 1.Ra8, maybe others.
This is another interesting line:
1.Rh4 gxh5 2.Rxh5+ Kg6 3.Ne7+ Qxe7+ 4.Qxe7 Bd6+ 5.Kxd6 Kxh5 6.Qh7+ Kg5 7.Qg7+ Kh5 8.Ra8 with 9.Rh8# to follow.
This is a beauty! I must ask what's already been asked. Did you compose this on your own? If so, well done! If not, where did you get it from?
beautiful puzzle, but just like the majority of puzzles here...it was not forced to turn out that way. so many variations, the black king could have chosen a different move, also black could have eaten the pawn with a knight instead of a bishop.
