I'm on the last level of Majestic Chess and am wondering if anyone can help me with this puzzle: There are white bishops on squares D5 and E5. There is a black queen on square F2. Challenge: Place both kings on the board so that, if it is white's move, white will checkmate in one move. I've come close, putting them so that white can checkmate in 2 (the queen blocks the first check) but can't solve this darn thing! Thanks all
