Knight on h4 to f3
Queen on a1 to e5

was my first thought, but the king can move to c4.

Then I thought move the queen to d4 but the pawn can take the queen.

It seems like the queen is the way to win to stop the king from moving in so many options. I can do it in 3 but not 2.

not really because one of the black pieces would of had to move and odds are it would have been the pawn. Even if it wasn't the King only has 2 choices, 1 of the blue. If they go to d6 then e5 works if they move the pawn d4.

Ya you are right on that. They would have had to move the pawn on their turn so the queen wouldn't be taken. I guess there are two answers depending if the pawn moves or the king moves.
