    Quite easy, but nice. (Buzzle from a Finnish chess book: Shakki; Ristoja. 2004.)

    Ok. Let's say more cleary: Quite easy after you find the idea. Better now?

    I thought it was easy, I saw the obvious way out in about five seconds. But maybe it's just a Finnish thing. Nice though!

    i got it quick on the first try, but ive used the idea before to get out of the queen pin.

    The solution is the only reasonable way to keep black in check. Knowing that it's a puzzle, it's not hard to just follow the checking line.

    I only saw it quickly because of the title.

    It is pretty easy :).  Lol there's only one candidate move, and since this is a puzzle with a solution it MUST be the correct one.   Seeing the rest of the thing through honestly took less than it did to type this post (although I had to type "candidate about 3 times before I was sure I spelled it correctly)Cool.

    It was fairly easy thanks to the title, I suppose; would've took some time finding that in a game though.
