This week's puzzles feature three relatively easy puzzles which show how to fork, pin and double attack, three tactics which play a major role in chess and the road to victory. Another puzzle has the opponent about to promote the pawn, and Black has to stop it......and of course, get some loot along the way. The last puzzle has Black's King in a helpless corner with White's pieces surrounding him. Yet it is not as easy as it seems for White to deliver the checkmate.

Aim: Material advantage

This puzzle shows Black's Queen at the mercy of White's Knight,
yet there was a Queen to be obtained immediately after her demise.
Could White stop this mayhem from befalling the battlefields of war?


Very Hard

This may well be the shortest Very Hard checkmate puzzle I've posted so far,
but it's not that easy either, trust me. You might solve it without the help of the buttons "Help" and "Solution", but only after a few minutes.
Checkmate.....the right way!


Have fun!
