I think it’s possible in 3.
King to f6, then advance the pawn on g5 forward twice for mate.
Actually, it’s mate in 3.
I came up with
- Kf6 c4
- g6 c3
- g7#
Edit: when I plugged this into lichess it confirms mate in 3. Good puzzle.
Why did you plug this into lichess ?
To make sure I had the right solution. It picked a different set of opponent moves after the initial king move, but they don’t really matter anyway so it’s a wash. Plus, I just found out about that feature and wanted to use it.
Solution?
1.a4 c4 2.bxc4 Ke7 3.Kg7
Solution
Tap for spoiler
Not quite, it’s:
1.KF6, C4
2.G6, C3
3.G7#
