Revived:

White's move.

Knight to f7
King to g8
Rook takes queen at d8

Nf7+ would be followed by Nxf7

1. Nf7+ Nxf7
2. Rxd8+ Nxd8
3. Qf8#

Szewenigen wins again! I need to come up with a harder puzzle.

White to move, find the best move.

c5 followed by Bb3>Be6 and Ke4

then moving B back and forth should be draw

Correct :)

Hennes: You gotta keep em coming!

White's move:

1. Qh4+

if 1. ... Kg8 2. Qh8+ Kxg8 3. Rh5++ Kg8 4. Rh8#
if 1. ... Kg7 2. Rh5+ Qd4+ 3. Bxd4+ Nxd4 4. Rh7+ Kg8 5. Rh8+ Kg7 6. Qh7# or Qh6#

You da man Sz! you're 3 for 3 on my puzzles.

Pooh, your puzzles are very forcing since there is always only 1 candidate move to analyse, so they are quite easy to solve.

Ok, this one is quite tricky, so make sure you analyse all the variations:

White to move, find the best move and continuation:

Since e5 fails on f5
1 Rf6 seems like a plan
...Bxf6 2.e5 with mate on h7
...bxc3 2.e5 h6 3.Rxh6 with mate afterwards.
...h6 2.e5 with a similar mating plan on h7
...Nxe4 2. Nxe4 Bxf6 3. Nxf6
...Nxe4 2. Nxe4 and after any other move by black Nf6 with the attack on h7 looks like a winning attack


although i might have missed something

Edited 5/8/2014 18:28:53

its probably harder than this....

1 e5 h6
2 exd6 dxc3
3 Qf5

Sze, just RF6 and white wins.
if Bxf6 e5 and blacks becomes checkmate.

After 1. Rf6 h6, just take the Knigt with Rxd6 looks good. anyway on sze's variation:
2. e5 Nf5? Qxf5 no?

(Relized B3rz3..) got it, anyway here's my puzzle from the other time:


Black to move

Edited 5/8/2014 20:57:18

Rf6 is the move, what happens after 1. Rf6 h6 2. e5 Nf5?

@sze Qxf5

@hennns
Qxf2 looks like a winning sacrifice
Qxf2 2. Rxf2 Re1+ 3 Bf1 Rxf1+4 Kg2 Rxf2+ with mate or material advantage a few moves later.
Qxf2 2. Kh1 Qxf1+ 3.Bxf1 Bb7+ 4. Bg2 Re1+

Edited 5/8/2014 22:17:18

it's not matirial advantage.. you gotta gice me the mate :p

"Qxf2 2. Rh1 Qxf1+ 3.Bxf1 Bb7+ 4. Bg2 Re1+"
This part is wrong.(not saying it doesn't win, but there's a better option)
