Hello, I think that is check mate in one not two, if the White Queen goes on F3 the King is check mate. In fact the Black Queen cannot goes on G3 due to the Rock on H8. Moreover the Black King cannot goes on G3 or G2 because of the White Queen and the White Knight. Please, say me something if I am right or wrong. Many thanks in advance. BR Mathieu
it should be noted that Alexandra failed to posed the puzzle properly because she did not clarify which direction the pawns are moving and that information can't be derived from the position.
@OceanderTethyseus She did not fail. When you analyze a game, white is always at the bottom side(you're side) of the board. Wich means black pawns move downwards.
@OceanderTethyseus 1. In puzzles, you always look from your side of the board. For instance, white to move, a1 is bottom right. Black to move, h8 is bottom right. This was white to move.
2. There are circles on the right of the board indicating which side is which.
@OceanderTethyseus You missed the circle on the grey bar on the right. I believe it indicates whose turn it is and which side of the board is white and which is black When it is white's turn, the circle is white and is at the bottom. When it is black's turn, the circle is black and is at the top.
They are too wise for you guys lol ;-)

@TheUggen1994
your premise is false; when you analyze a game, white is not always at the bottom of the board.
hense, your conclusion is also false.
hense, my initial statement stands unchallenged and unopposed.

This kind of coast to coast move of the Queen, extracting from a cluster of white and black pieces is, you're right, typical,
Typical of Sam LOYD !!!
