    should't black have traded bishops instead of taking the knight? i would have led to a two knights vs pawnless king, not enought material to mate...

    Good puzzle. Very educational. Especially one of the last positions, where the bishop must capture the knight. Never knew that a mate with two knights could look like that!Laughing

    Why 2......Nb3 ?        Why not 2......Kb4

    If someone understand it, write to me please! 

    Although nice combination of pieces!


    Nb3 and Kb4 end up quite similar in the end, but Kb4 is probably a better defensive move, as it makes white work a bit harder for the win.

    I did it well until the 4th move, then I got a little bit lost and haven't been able to see Nb6 (2 knights vs king is usually a draw, at least 99% of the cases and that confused me).

    Very nice. Smile

    Time to post what I think of the variations of this puzzle. Correct me if I'm wrong. :)

     

    In all, fantastic daily puzzle :) Didn't get it all right the first time though.

    Nice not so short puzzle. I like promotion into knight, makes it more interesting. :)

    This is my analysis with stockfish. Black can escape early checkmate but white is far better :
