Checkmate by White in 3... We'll see if you're that smart...

That wasn't at all easy. It was logical, but difficult (for me). Thanks.

It would be hard to figure out the moves.

This one is very nice puzzle, because of its tricky move (sac......). It's easy for me, because I've seen a puzzle like this before. Laughing

Good one! I finally gave up and had it show me the first move and then saw how it all falls into place. Thanks for this Smile

I found this one fairly easily.  I think I prefer problems where there are less pieces on the board.  When there are more possible moves I can get lost too easily!

 

Thanks for the puzzle, vokidas. Cool

After all else failed, His Highness had to go, and that worked for me! Trial & Error! Wink

a nice puzzle.  I especially like all the stalemates that can be caused if things are done incorrectly.  That makes calculation easier though 'cause there aren't so many moves to analyse! ;)

If I was black I wouldn't resign.  If white doesn't see this mate, its a draw most likely.
