Agreed - very nice

Sort of like a give & go in basketball... Knight moves, passed to the pawn, pawn moves, and then the pawn passes back to the knight for the score.

Oh, I didn't see the knight mate - I mated with Qe3.

What are you talking about? I only see one solution to this puzzle.

After 2. ... Ke5, 3. Qe3 is mate

Slight fault with the GK Solutions?

@2borknot2b There does appear to be a small shortcoming in the listed solutions on some puzzles. This is not the first puzzle where there were more than one final move for checkmate, but those additional moves are not listed in the full solution.

I've had a grump about this before. Seems very wrong that the "all moves graph" excludes more than one checkmate when they are available. Maybe it should be renamed to the "nearly all moves graph"

It seems like it should be a very easy fix: just stop searching at the end of that iteration of board analysis, instead of at the first checkmate found.

People got very defensive about it, for some reason.
