You should be doing these yourself since it's for your own benefit.

You should do it yourself.  If you've only got 5 or 7 or whatever, then that's what you've got.  You're not paying someone to make you feel good and give you a pat on the back for completing all the problems, you're paying to have someone make you work hard. 

Or maybe the instruction is free, I don't know, but that is not my point.

Wow, those problems are all so unrealistic.  In every one the mating side has a giant gain in material and also pieces just spread out randomly.....

I've solved them all - but I'm certainly not revealing the answer. They aren't unreasonable. Just look for what move forces the king to do something first.

may i kindly point out that this board was meant for a) people to enjoy working on these problems and b) for them to help me in my plight.all exept three of the posts  are not intended for any purpose except being a gripe session.in my oppinion everyone except coe and raito can go screw themselves.
