Yes , Aqwajet17 , and we are moving from the end to the beginning of the line,looking for the better moves.
I had to edit this post ,I apologize :
White to play and win ->>edit >> sorry , this is draw:
1...b2 is not the best move for black.
Caiello
This endgame is from a David Bronstein's game .Bronstein, as black, managed to do a draw,playing 1...Rh8 :
White to play and win
(by the way, what is the answer to the rook/pawn ending puzzle? i couldn't get anywhere.)
about #151- white can play :
and about #153 - yes, but black can play 3...Qe1...

@Caiello - In your diagram from post #155, I wonder if 7...Qa2 is an improvement for black. That will pin white's bishop.
Sherlock does post some excellent puzzles here. I'll try to do them when I can. :)

Hi, it is nice to be again in Chess.com !
Thanks to all guys ,who entered this post !
I will offer you a puzzle from H.Rinck :
cobra thinks your a filthy thief Sherlock. What do you have to say about that? *news reporter microphone is all yours*
I had to go to dictionary for word filthy . Does he says why ?
Qb1 and it seems black has to give away his queen to avoid mate in 2. I might be missing something though...
