#20: Fifty/Fifty
(white to move and not lose. I was bored to make the exact same sequence of moves from the video, so the puzzle below is just a game I played with a bot just by premoving my king around. I would recommend clicking the "Solution" button, as there is no reason to try and find my moves)

(black to move and mate in 1)
#22: Double Trouble, Part 3
(black to move and mate in 4)

#33: Monarch March, Part 2
(black to move and mate in 8. please note that there are a lot of mate in 8 sequences that produce the same result, or even in more than 8, since that bishop cannot stop you anyway, and also two checkmate moves at the end, so you're gonna have to find the ones from the video)
