I am learning Chess and I was presented with the following problem:

White:
King  e8
Rook c8
Rook h2

Black:
King  b1
Pawn b4

I was told that white mates in two moves and I can’t solve it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.


Dear viewer,

This problem (see graphic) is a mate in four moves.

Mate in four

Solution:

1. Rb8  b3
2. Rxb3+ Kc1

or    

1. Rd8 Kc1
2. Rd2 b3
3. Rg2 b2
4. Rg1#
