White to play and mate in two
A Grimshaw is a device found in chess problems in which two pieces (usually a rook and bishop) arriving on a particular square mutually interfere with each other. It is named after the 19th-century problem composer Walter Grimshaw. The Grimshaw is one of the most common devices found in directmates.
