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

SectionProtection tags replaced with Spoiler tags.
- No user lists, no access protection.
- Just a simple javascript toggle to switch between visible / invisible.
- Supports all wiki-text/HTML
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[1] wiki-text blocks.
- Would strongly suggest that it only be used sparingly, with preference given to Spoiler tags instead.
Example: <spoiler> This is an example </spoiler>
