Two funny chess problems
By dalex, 13 years ago, translation, In English

I'd like to offer you two chess problems.
In both problems there is checkmate in 1, white to play.

If you think that any fool can solve checkmate in 1, these positions are for you!

For left table,we move E3-E5,where A1 is the lower-left corner.
For second table,we move C2-C1.
I think this solution is true.

Correct answers here! (Atleast I think so)

The first one took a while to figure out.  The second one was relatively easy with the blacks King stuck in a corner :)

Check my edit.
