I enjoy mating puzzles where the target king is surrounded by open squares. In these puzzles, the appearance of freedom for the target king is only an illusion because, in reality, the open squares surrounding it are not free from the influences of distant pieces.
In tonight’s puzzle, the black king appears to have several escape routes. However, when you visualize all of the squares white’s pieces control, you might be able to spot a mate in 2 solution.
