L.A. Times Problem No. 384 From the International Two-mover Tourney of the Budapest Chess Club, 1933. First prize by Gy. Neukomm (Budapest). White mates in two.
FEN 5QBb/2r4q/b3P3/N1p1n2R/4k2r/5nP1/1NPPpB1p/4R2K w - - 0 1
Key: N-R4/Na4
In order to help those who sent in wrong solutions I shall show the defense to their moves.
The try of N-Qsq was really a very interesting one. The only move that defeats it is N-B3. Now the knight would be needed to makte at Q-B5.

L.A. Times Problem No. 385 by J. Szekely, first and second prize, 1927. White mates in three.
FEN 5N2/1p6/bp1B1PR1/P4k2/1P2p3/2Pr2p1/6P1/1K2Q3 w - - 0 1
Key: P-N5/b5
Here many of the solvers went wrong! K-B may be defeated by B-B5, and there is no mate in two moves. If Q-R, RxB and there is no mate in two moves. If Q-K2, R-Q8ch, QxR, B-Q6ch.
