So I was playing some chess the other day, and this situation presented itself. I thought it would make a fine puzzle.
Can you solve this chess puzzle?

But king could escape to 2E?

If he escaped to 2e then you can move your knight to c3 and then yes that is checkmate :)

The pawn on b2 is overlooked in the scenario. It would capture the knight.
For what it is worth, the game went:
f6-e3
d1-e1
d3xd2
e1-f1
d2xf2 check mate

That is a nice move as well. Taking the rook in the end. But the game ended with a checkmate in 3 moves.

Black Knight to c3 check.
White king has to move. to either 1E or 1C.
Lets say he moves to c1
Black Queen moves to c3 and it's checkmate... I think

That happens, I wouldn't claim I never forget about some piece, on the contrary.
Glad you had fun. I will probably post some more scenarios / puzzles.
