He can't go to the a-file either, Black will just put his rook behind the pawn! If szeweningen's still around maybe he can provide the solution.

1. c7! Rd6+
2. Kb5 Rd5+
3. Kb4 Rd4+
4. Kb3 Rd3+
5. Kc2 Rd4!
6. c8=R!! 1-0 :)

One of the prettiest endgame positions with only 4 pieces ever to be composed.

Once upon a time, a game started with the moves 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 Ne4 3.Bh4 c5 4.Qd3, reaching this position.



How did Black win material here?

Swez,

1. c7! Rd6+
2. Kb5 Rd5+
3. Kb4 Rd4+
4. Kb3 Rd3+
5. Kc2 Rd4!
6. c8=R!! 1-0 :)


Why is 2 ... Rd5+ the best move for black?

Why is not 2 ... Rd2 better?

Then, if 3 c8=Q RC2+ forces stalemate

If 1. c7 Rd2 then 2. c8=Q Rc2+ does not force a draw, because wihte king will get to c3 square and no more checks. King+Queen vs King+Rook is a technical win here.

Hey Hey guys stop all these nex puzzle making!!! Mine wasnt solved yet!!!
Aziridine in your way black would have win.
Infact the king is in the 6 column and he would have reached the white pawn managing to capture it!!!
Go back to my puzzle!! buahah

Anyway I'm pretty sure I'm wrong about last puzzle because in my idea there are too many moves open to the white so I haven't calculated every variation, but it's just a bottom line:
4... d5
5 Qb5+ Nb6
6 dxc5 Bd7

Now white has 2 choices equally so I will analyze both the variations:
If 7 Qb3 Nd4
8 Qd3 Qa5+
9 c3 Nb3 ==> rock captured for the knight.

If 7 Qd3 Ne5
8 Qxd5 Qa5+
9 c3 Nxc5
10 Qxe5 Nd3+ ==> Queen captured for both the knights.

There are a lot of variations to consider but with a fast look all lead to an advantage for black.
Anyway i'm sceptical about my idea beacuse i feel there are some moves that may fit for this better, like the more classical 4... g5 or the other bottom line that is based on e5 (not as fourth move of course) in "charles de legal's style".

I think I see what you mean Trilussa - in the line I gave Black's king goes b6-a5-b4-b3 to support his pawn and draw. Clearly I gotta think about it more...
Black can force material gain in my puzzle. Against a normal move like 4...d5 White probably just plays 5.f3 and stands better.

Yes infact the problem of my bottom line was that in order to make it works, white must try to gain more pieces adavantage:P
Anyway if no one will solve my puzzle tonight i will post the solution:)

Oh anyway to 5 f3 black has c5 that would represent a big advantage for him.
But I'm sure that there is a much better move for white that I don't have the time to analyze:P

Argh, too many puzzles, and all mixed together.

Did anyone solve deadpiggy's one?



Bg4, wins queen. (white queen is safe from the black knight, because Rd8 mates). If f5, then QxQ.

unknown that was already solved by me. the one that is still unsolved is mine (that sze has posted) and the last that you can see of Aziridine.
Even if according to sze's rules my puzzle should be solved before:P

Sorry Trilussa - I saw deadpiggy had said you were wrong, and didn't read his 2nd message saying you were right.

Ok Aziridine I have got a better idea for your puzzle now:
4...Qb6

if 5 Qa1 exd4==> Pawn

5 b3 exd4

if 6 Qxd4 Nc5
7 Qc4 d5
8 Qxd5 Be6==> Rock

6 Qxe4 Qa5+

if 7c3 dxc3 ==> Promotion of the pawn

7 Kd1 g5

if 8Qxd4 Rh8 ====> Rock

8 Bg3 d3
9 Nd2 Bg7
10 Rb1 Qe3
11 Rc1 Qc5 ====> Rock

My idea is probably to complicated for being the solution of a puzzle, but take a look to this and tell me if white can prevent someway my black playing...

4...Qb6 5.b3 exd4? 6.Qxe4 Qa5+ 7.c3 dxc3 8.b4! and White should win.
And as for your earlier suggestion, 4...d5 5.f3 c4 6.Qd1 and White will play Nc3 and e4. It's not clear to me whether Black is really better here, and he's definitely not winning material :)

Ok then solution must be a different one...
But please -just for fun- let's continue from 8b4
8... c2
9 Nc3 d5
10 Qxc2 Qxb4 ==> piece advantage

In these 3 moves I've seen a lot of variations but I didnt see anything good for white.. But I'm sure you will find it:)

Just 10.Nxd5. The point of the puzzle is to make Black win material ;)

There is others variations, but that one is the most important.
