It’s not red vs blue.

It’s the state vs you.

Exactly- King moves to E2

Black to play. Checkmate in 2.

First move is Rook to B4. Any move black makes after that the white Queen will mate.

Bravo

Mate in 2 is possible, let me know if you want me to tell you the answer

Bingo

Black E pawn moving to e5 blocks mate in 2

Good guess but the black A pawn can move on the 2nd move to make an escape square for the black king

It does matter what the pawn in this case does because it could lead to the king escaping the mate in 2

This puzzle is hard AF

Good guess, but not the answer

After Q3d, black pawn could move to 5a, so Q8d would not be a checkmate

Good guess but that’s not it

Technically the black king could move to G7 (instead of H8) to avoid mate in 2. Good guess though!
