I saw this problem a few weeks ago and it made an impression on me so I thought I’d replicate it here. This position is a puzzle composed by William Reilly. White is to play and mate in two.

You have three attempts to find the solution before it is revealed (click on the pieces to move them). There are several moves that give mate in three but only one that gives mate in two.
