The author of the problem is Geoffrey R. Foster.

White: |
Mate in 2 means: white moves, such that he can mate black in his second move, regardless what black moved. Note that here we use the Kriegspiel rules: one tries to move, the arbiter disallows illegal moves, and also tells both players when a piece is taken on which square this has happened, and when check is given. See the description of Kriegspiel for the details.
Joseph DiMuro was the first to solve the problem. The problem was on the Chess
Variant Pages since October 14, 1996; and Joseph's solution came in on March
3, 1997. This was an especially hard problem, and specific congratulations go
to Joseph DiMuro for solving it.
