The task
- To move
- Dark
- Difficulty

- win in 2
On the board: 1 men and 2 kings for Dark, 1 men and 0 kings for Light. An easy combination of two moves: the first one usually forces a capture.
What to look for
- Kings are on the board and their freedom to move backwards matters.
How the answer is checked
There is exactly one first move that forces the result; any other first move allows the defence to escape. Moves that keep the forced result are accepted later in the line, and a move that loses it is taken back with a short note.
