Do you see mate in 2? Fritz says #4!!

What move does it start with, probably some check like 1.Qh4+? Chessmaster also likes that move on Quick Hint.
For all practical purposes, it doesn't make much difference whether you see a mate in 4 or 2, and I think that it's even "safer" to force mate with a continuous series of checks, but it's a totally different thing with problems. BTW, it's 1.Re1, I think the problem was composed by the great Sam Loyd.

It's easy !!!!
1.Re1 Kxe1 2.Qd2#
1.Re1 Bg2 2.Qh4#
1.Re1 (other move) 2.Qg1#

Well done! White wins by Zugzwang.

Zugzwang... That's why Fritz doesn't see it - probably some null-move heuristic.
