Here's yet another anti-stalemate problem of mine. White has an obvious material superiority, but has to play accurately to not lose pieces, cause a stalemate, nor checkmate inefficiently.
From the board position given, it's White to move and mate in two.
Don't cheat!
Solutions:
1. Kd3 Kb5
2. Kd4#
1. Kd3 Kd5
2. Qe5#
1. Kd3 Kd6
2. Kc4#
Practically every other first move that isn't a premature check is a stalemate move. Bc7, Ba5, Ke3, Ke5, Kf3, Kf5, Rd1, Rd4, Rd7, Qa6 Qd3, Qf1 all draw by stalemate.
The FEN for the board position is:
3B4/8/2p5/2k5/p3KP2/P7/3RQ3/8
