    Hm. I'm pretty sure this is a legit puzzle :). I'd have to plug it in an engine to be sure, but very nice Cool. I think the "forget the knight" comment might be unnecessary though. You're up by like 15pts of material, who cares Wink?

    Nice puzzle, but I agree... white should have resigned long ago!

    In fact, in that game, white should have resigned on the 10th move.

    The position arose in this 1-minute bullet game: http://www.chess.com/livechess/game.html?id=20220231

     

    I added a few pawns to prevent spite checks. Engine analysis confirms the solution.

    Next time, just copy the FEN notation for the position. Also, note the numbers on the board. :)
