1. fxg6 Nxg6
2. Rxg6+ hxg6
3. Qh3 Be5
4. Qh8+++!!!

White's Move
White to Draw

Lol, pooh doesn't even wait for confirmation that he's right, he's all "I know I'm right!" and proceeds with the next board.

Pooh is right, I kept getting stuck on getting that pawn out of f7 and completely forgot about that backdoor in the h column.

It's fine if he is, I can't tell. Just loling at his confidence

He also gave his own mating move three exclamation marks.

Correct Pooh, you can post your own now :)

1. Kd4

1. ... h2 2. Bxe5+ and 3. Bxh2 white wins
1. ... Nf3+ 2. Ke3 and bishop watches over h2 if 2. ... Ne5 3. Bxe5+ draws easily since white king reaches h2
1. ... Nc6+ or Nd7 2. Ke3 and if 2. ... Nxc8 3. Kf3 draws

Yeah Sze!

Ok, this I think is a tough one despite so few pieces remaining on the board.

White to move, find the best move:

Missing a piece?

Haha, sorry:

I'd play f7 but no doubt that's why my rating is terrible.

actually I belive f7 is the correct move.. the follow up is the hard part though.
1. f7 Rf8
2. gxh7 Rh2
3. Bf2! Rcxc2
4. Rg2!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Raxg2
5. hi=Q Rxc7
6. Qe8+
1-0


4... Rcxb2
5. f1=Q Rxa2
6.Qf4+
I don't think black giving check changs anything.

Edit: fixed the (chess) grammar :p

That is actually the correct answer :) (disregarding small inaccuracies in square names)

I did not find Bf2 and I thought it was a really beautiful puzzle in its simplicity since the ideas are very simple, but it takes a really well-trained eye to see Bf2 continuation.

Your turn Hennns.

Black goes

1. ... Rf2+

2. Ke1 / Kd3 Rf3 pinning & winning knight

correct

White to move, mate in 3.
