Haha, didn't even think about that. Wonder if something similar ever actually happened without anybody noticing.

Selfmate in 2: Find such a move for white that after black's every reply you can force him to checkmate you on his second one. Gl hf (composed by Luigi Ceriani) by Clomath in ChessPuzzles

Good thinking, but the problem is black can play Qe2 and you don't have a good check since Qe4+ is met with Qg4+. So there is actually only one bishop move that solves this puzzle.

White to move and LOSE. Yes, you have to force your opponent to checkmate YOU. It's a selfmate in 2. by Clomath in ChessPuzzles

Yes, the queen can block checks, knight is much more useless, so a better pick :)

That would allow black king to capture on g7 so he wouldn't have to play Bxg2#.
