well if black was really stupid than bishop 1)Bd3 f5 2)either Nf5 or Nb5++
1. b3 e4 2. f4 e3+ 3. ke2 f5 4. Nb5+ mate
hijau 1. b3 e4 2. f4 exf3 (pass pawn), sorry! not the correct answer.
brod is this the sol'n: 1. Be4 f5 2.b3 if (2...fxe4 3. Nf5 ...) mate in 3 moves. if 2 ... f4 3. c5 f3 4. Bc6 e4 5. Nc4 e3 6 fxe3 mate.
No, it is a force move for black no other option but checkmate in four (4) moves.
very hard...
I give up...insanely hard for me. The best I could achieve was 6 moves mate.
Appreciate if solution is posted now...
