Why isn't e6 - B(any available square), Rf4+ - Bg4, Bf6# checkmate in there moves?

@ronnieaspen: 1. e6 Bf3! 2. Rxf3? Kg4 3. Rf8 h5! White has to give up control in order to avoid stalemate. Alternatively, 2. e7 (pushing the pawn) is mate in 5 (I think, maybe 6).

Ah. Didn't see that. Finally solved it. After finally getting the first move (by clicking on random squares) I could see the rest of the moves.

that was hard

sometimes the least obvious first move is the correct move

It's a beautiful pattern. Things like this do make chess all but boring!

A Curiosity

I was pondering the effects of the color of White's bishop.
