'''White to play and mate in two'''.
 
This puzzle requires some initial retrograde analysis to get the crucial concept required for mate in two, and a little more intensive retrograde analysis to narrow down the two apparantly possible solutions to the one genuine, unique solution. Created by a truly excellent and prodigious composer, Thomas Rayner Dawson.

Have (yet again) modified the layout for puzzles, solutions and discussions.
* Relocated all solutions to the Talk page instead of a spoiler in the puzzle page. This reduces the incentive to glance at the solution and also means that I can easily create a group ("test-solvers") that has read access to article pages but no access to Talk pages
* Included on the Talk page a specific section for "Solver discussions". This section contains a table with everybody's feedback on the puzzle so that the designer can refine it if necessary. Things like:
** Percentage of puzzle completed without guidance
** A score rating
** Specific comments on the solver's thought process while solving the puzzle

[[Template:SectionProtection|SectionProtection]] tags replaced with [[Template:Spoiler|Spoiler]] tags.
* No user lists, no access protection.
* Just a simple javascript toggle to switch between visible / invisible.
* Supports all wiki-text/HTML
[[Template:SectionProtection|SectionProtection]] script has been updated.
* Newest version supports encryption and prevents the previous workarounds.
* However, doesn't behave well (high server load and session time out) when encrpyting large<ref>Worked fine for [[Must Try Again]] but not for [[Woe!]]</ref> wiki-text blocks.
* Would strongly suggest that it only be used sparingly, with preference given to [[Template:Spoiler|Spoiler]] tags instead.
