nice

Cool :) !

no brain required...

yup

Deflect the bishop so king can't escape.

Always wondered why myself.. since most other chess sites offer much tougher ones or at least give you a choice of easy or hard. I guess it could be either...

1- Because a lot of beginners say 'nice' or 'great puzzle' to them (even to mate in one puzzles) .

2- The puzzle staff are low ranked players who are wowed by queen sacrifices or dont appreciate tougher challenges or more subtle moves.

3- To ensure you dont waste your time at work by thinking too hard, puzzles are designed to be as obvious as possible and 'solved' in 3 secs.

easy

good one..!

first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice but easy

we need harder problems

for i am not a beginner

I'm not first,but i'm the best..

All the morons yell "first" it does matter in real life, in case you were wondering.

Black bishop was overloaded - covering the diagonal (especially h8) AND providing an escape square at g8 for his king.  The initial Rh8+ deflected the bishop from his second function.

can we get an upvote downvote system on comments?
