A chess game starts with 1.e4 and ends after 5 moves with knight takes rook checkmate. How did the game go?
Kasparov reportedly could not solve this problem. Can you?

no but can you
Ive seen it before but wasn't able to solve it. Hint: You have to know which side wins
Best I can come up with is
1. e4, f6 2. Nf3, Kf7 3. Nh4, d6 4. Ng6, Be6 5. d4, Qe8 6. Nxh8#
But, I guess that's 6 moves =(

Oh I was just going to ask if I'm supposed to find out myself which side wins. Normally they tell you that in this kind of puzzles

Indeed it is part of the riddle to find out which side checkmates. Turns out it is not possible for White.
Congrats @Toscani you are better than Kasparov... at solving this particular problem :D

Starting with 1. e4, I can mate black with a knight in four move. Evil wins again.
