Nice puzzles. Especially the second interference,decoy and smothered mate

Sure indeed. You are really a great player, you play chess with plans and strategies. :)

Absolutely.  The smother cannot occur with the black queen on g8.  The interference of the knight forces the rook to come to the back rank, and then the tactic works. Excellent puzzle.  I would equate this puzzle with art.  Great job nyLsel.

Thank you! Did you understand the real motif why Nd8!! is praise as a brilliant move?

Excellent smothered mate.  Nice job.
