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:)

1... Qb6
2. b3 Qh6

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

to Aziridine s posistion.

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

Hennns got it!
I have to admit I had to peek at the solution to Trilussa's problem. It's very nice :)

Does Trilussa have a unsvolved problem? (I didn`t bother reading all the posts)

I don`t get how to post pics so I`ll give you a link, just copy it and then past in the browser. (if you can`t just click it) BLACK to move, wacth out it`s hard ;)

Oh dear...

Just use img /img with those brackets []

The link messed up the forum a bit, too bad there is no edit button :(

to 10 Nxd5 Qxh2
11 Nc7 Kd8
12 Rc1 Kxc7 ==> pieces advantage

Thanks szeweningen, I`ll try that next time..:)

Ok here is the solution to my puzzle:
Nb6+ Kb8
Rc3 Pawn promotion
Nd7+ Ka7
Ra3+ Kb7
Rb3+ Qxb3
Nc5+ 1-0

No ideas for my problem?
Here are some tips:
1. You (black) will sacerfice something
2. Find whites most importent/best pice AND a way to remove it

hennns, do you sac the knight on H2 and then Queen to h4 to regain material? I cannot see the whole solution but I dont think black has anything but ...Ng4

1. ... Ng4 2. Bxh7+ with Qh3 makes me worried...

I also don't see it, I'd just play 1. ... Qh4 with threat of fork Qg4, but white can just respond with 2.Rxd7 Qxe4 with a nice positional advantage for black due to whites bad bishop and weak king's position , but I don't see more... I certainly can't see a win or a big enough advantage to declare a win.
