Welcome to this LAST PUZZLE of the Puzzle Road! Alright, this is the last puzzle! I have been happy to share with you all these tactics, strategies, checkmates and pins, forks, material wins! I hope you enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed to post it for you! But the Puzzle Road will come back! I promise it you, it's not the end. Don't the next Puzzle Road will be something like 1,000,000 times better! How? Because we will work together on it! Suggest your puzzles, your ideas. Tell me the topic you want me to analyze, share your chess games in my server: https://discord.gg/uncmhknmYg (feel free to create an account if you don't have at the moment; it's free and easy!) 42/ A beautiful finish! (Topic: ending the game) Let's come to the puzzle! Coming from a bullet game, I'm pretty surprised that it had been possible for White to find the brilliant and winning move. But it's possible and White won by checkmate! How? Feel free to check the explanations about the puzzle in my blog: https://www.chess.com/blog/Kyu13/puzzle-road-a-beautiful-finish-p42 Puzzle Road will come back in a few months! Have fun in solving puzzles!

Welcome back to Puzzle Road! I think now I should end the suspense and give you the two last puzzles of the puzzle road! Of course, I told you in the beginning I would post 42 puzzles, not 40 (!!) I hope you saw that they were missing 2 tactics!So, let’s continue and end with the pre-last puzzle. This incredibly beautiful extraordinary tactic is composed of 3 brilliant moves! Alright, coming from a blitz game, I’m surprised that Black did find the right moves to win and keep the advantage all over the game. 41/ Surprise! 3 Brilliants for the pre-last puzzle! (Topic: overloading) Overloading an opponent’s piece means that the piece has too much to do (like you would be busy to work or study) and cannot make correctly all the things we ask it to do. In this case, the queen needs to protect on one side the g2 square to avoid the checkmate, because the black queen, protected by the black bishop on b7 is attacking this g2-square where it would be checkmate for the white king and rapidly the end of the game in the case white does not correctly move the queen. On the other side, the white queen protects the c3-pawn, alone. Check in my blog the solution! https://www.chess.com/blog/Kyu13/puzzle-road-surprise-3-brilliants-for-the-pre-last-puzzle-p41 Thanks for reading! @Kyu13

Hi everyone. Today I am here to address the recent complaints about the background, font, etc. What do you guys think would work better for a background (feel free to suggest) Thanks, @hypercard

Hi everyone! I will be hosting simuls from now on (on chess.com). I don't know when I will be hosting them, it will depend on my schedule. Feel free to challenge me during the simul, but I will set aside half an hour to play people in blitz (unrated). If you want to apply for a simul, DM me. You must be at least 1500+ blitz or rapid. Each simul must have a time control of 3 minutes or more. Thank you! (I will register you in the list below). Simul Player Time Control @hypercard 3+0 @ellerylikesdog 10+0 @TurboPickleB24 15+10
