    Waiting somebody to give the solution for #330  here is a different puzzle :

     

     

     

     

    Reverse help mate in 2 moves

    What exactly is a reverse help mate? Or a help mate in general for that matter?

    As for #330 I just don't what black would do after b7

    I am not sure if this is exact but i mean help mate is when black pieces help white and reverse - white king must be mated instead of black.

    And i must say this puzzle is a joke .

    then procede with the 2 move checkmate

    Yes, after placing white king and queen on normal places it is well known blunder mate:

    It is strange that even when white king is on  'd1' solution is possible :

    How'd did you manage to get it to do that? Doesn't it only allow legal moves?

    And white's king is safe. :)

    I was thinking this way : this is a helpmate puzzle and if so, any help is welcome. And when it appeared that the white king can fly from time to time , i used this .

    Can you teach me how to do the flying king thing I always wanted to play Kc6+!! followed by Kd7# but was never able to get the logistics of it?
    As for the puzzle is this right?
    Edit: this loses for white I'm not sure what I was thinking

    Puzzle 327 @Sherlocks_Holmes, I just did this in very shallow analysis and I think the solution posted by nswwsn may be flawed. . .  sorry if this is redundant or has already been covered

    is this the general idea for the solution?

    I don't have the solution for 327,so we can discuss it .

    I think after 1.Nd5 a4 white can play 2.Nb6+ :

    @ element18 Although I can't say I'm certain I'm right (I realized my solution for 339 is quite wrong) in 327 I responded to a4 with Nb6+ followed by Nxa4

    Caiello, in your line black can play 5...Qc1 :

    I am sorry, but in #339 i posted a wrong position Embarassed - the 3 white pawns on the left must be a row up :

                  White to play and win
