I suspect there is a zugzwang involved here... 

Always nice to see the king deliver checkmate by moving out of the way.

It took longer than expected, not bad, definitely not bad

Nice easy one, I think. :) [Edit] Oops! Still got it wrong, though! Excellent.

excellent combination, thank you very much.

Simple ... But only if you know a mate in 2 exists in the position

This wasn't too hard, once I figured out the Queen had to go to the a-file for the discovered check after b2. An elegant puzzle, thanks for posting it.

Good old zugzwang. Often in it. Can’t beat it.

As I learned from Sam lloyd always put the queen in the impossible corner

I had to sleep on this one before I saw the solution.

Puzzle: 1 Q-R8! Now, the only legal moves are for Black to move the Pawns; but if: 1…PQ5, 2 QR1; if 1…PB6, 2 KxP; and if 1…PN7, 2 KN4.😀

I'm really starting to enjoy the Zugzwang. Very spicy. 😋

Enjoyable. As always it took me a minute or two to get even this easy one.

This is very clever, but I prefer puzzles where the solution is the only good way, or clearly best way, to win.. There are so many forced mates in three in this position that all the thinking you need to do to achieve mate just one move sooner seems a bit wasted. That opinion probably shows that I am more of a player than a puzzle guy, which is true!

While it wouldn't be 2 turns, but 3, wouldn't Qd5, Qd1, Qb1 also lead to a checkmate?

I was delighted to get this one. Kinda cute the way the kings steps.

Beautiful zugzwang!

Did not get it before it was shown.

Terrible puzzle lol QE6 QG6 or QH6 black can only move a pawn then all three QE1 QG1 OR QH1 ARE CHECKMATE IN 2. 🙄

Q to H6...Q to H1..CM....

nice 🥰

😮 😂😂

Just what I want from a quick fun puzzle. Looked at many of the wrong moves you mentioned, and also Qb5, and the reason they fail lead me logically to the solution.

A VIII

Qa8 will put black in zeugswang.

the color black leads you astray ;-)

Wrong. If white takes the pawn next to it, black can move his closest pawn down to one promotion away. Then you move the queen down and check. He is forced to promote, then the queen takes the queen with checkmate, being protected by his bishop. It’s checkmate in three, not two. The beginning queen move will get you checkmate regardless of whether you start by taking a pawn or not.
