Hey guys, these are the last few moves of a nice endgame I played in live chess.  I want to see if someone can figure it out.

White to move and mate in 6.  Good luck!  This would make a great daily puzzle.

nice puzzel

Here is another endgame from one of my online chess games.  I found a quicker forced mate than the one that I played after I finished the game, so here's that one.

White to move and mate in 4.

Numbersix

nice one..a few possibilities, but interesting to find the quickest

Okay, here's a puzzle that I've come up with.  I'm not sure how hard it is.  I guess it would depend on your level of skill.

White to move and mate in 4.

Here's another puzzle.

White to move and mate in 11.

Not sure if this would be a logical sequence of moves, so please tell me if I went wrong somewhere.

Here's another puzzle.

Black to move and mate in 4.

I don't think the last two puzzles work. Post 259 has several moves where black can deviate, first on move 1 by ...Bf6. I haven't analysed them deeply, so you might still have the mate in 11.

However, I know that post 260 isn't mate in four like you've set up, because if white plays c3, c4, Rd2, or Kd2 on move 4, black doesn't have mate in 1.

Here's another puzzle.

That's not a mate in three. For instance, black plays 1...Rc1+ and it isn't mate in three

Oops.......

Okay, here's a puzzle I came up with.  Not sure if it is a hard one or not.  Take a look.

White to move and mate in 4.

Once again, theweaponking, it isn't a mate in four because black can delay, most noticeably by sacrificing his rooks to check the white king on the first couple of moves.
