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

Welcome to Puzzle Road! The puzzle I post today comes from my game against someone who was completely underrated! Rating: 700. Playing style: 1,800… The position was draw, until he played Rook h4?? And then, I could win it. It’s incredible how one move can change a complete game! The draw has been converted into a win after this blunder. Do you find the move to make your opponent regret Rook h4? 40/ Make him regret his move!

Welcome to Puzzle Road! We’re coming near to the end of Puzzle Road friends, sorry… but we still have a few more puzzles to solve! Let’s go with the 39th! Don’t hesitate to send me your feedbacks in the forums, my blog, or send me a private message! The puzzle of today will handle with a discovered attack and a fork! Yes, I maybe told you too many things about the puzzle and it’s an easy puzzle… but it’s again an important tactic useful to players of every level! Some GM games ends with easy tactics! 39/ Discover the way to win! (Topic: discovered attack) Check the solution here: https://www.chess.com/blog/Kyu13/puzzle-road-discover-the-way-to-win-p39 Have fun in playing chess! @Kyu13

Hello friends!Today, the puzzle won’t be easy! Alright, you will have to find many moves to correctly solve it and you will probably need to take your time to find the right and best and brilliant strategies! I added as topic “chasing the king” but I could have called that Magnet too. Magnet means to force a piece of the opponent to come on a bad square, and then to force him moving on the squares we want by checking the king. Like a magnet! 38/ Let’s start the chase! (Topic: chasing the king) Check the solution in the blog: https://www.chess.com/blog/Kyu13/puzzle-road-lets-start-the-chase-p38 See you tomorrow for the next puzzle!@Kyu13

Welcome to Puzzle Road! I ‘m sincerely sorry if you find the explanations of the puzzles a bit too small… I am actually very busy with many things. Discord server, chess club, training, and more… But I’m still here to share great puzzles with you! This puzzle now is strange. Why? Because you need (again) to draw instead of finding a tactic to win material or to checkmate the white king! You will probably need a few minutes to find the right first move. Then, the next moves are much easier! 37/ I won’t let you win! (Topic: draw) Solution: https://www.chess.com/blog/Kyu13/puzzle-road-i-wont-let-you-win-p37 Have a good day,@Kyu13

Welcome to Puzzle Road! Today’s puzzle is easier than the previous puzzles, but still needed for a tactic training, because you will always need to checkmate your opponent if this one does not give up! Easy, but necessary. Why I call it easy? Because the moves are completely logical to win the games. You will still need thinking a bit about the puzzle, but it’s easy. 36/ Easy, but necessary. (Topic: mate in 4) Check the solution in my blog: https://www.chess.com/blog/Kyu13/puzzle-road-easy-but-necessary-p36 Have fun in solving this puzzle!@Kyu13

Welcome to Puzzle Road! Here we have a puzzle where we could first think that White is losing because of the pin on the e-column. But we can play a brilliant great excellent beautiful move to win the game! Indeed, the black king is less protected, we have the bishop pair attacking the opponent’s king and our queen controls a few squares. This is a magnific example to show that tactics are everywhere (in lost positions too!) The queen is pinned, true, the king has not castled, true, but we win because of the activity of our pieces and the f-column that’s open. 35/ Did you think I gave my Queen? (Topic: out of the pin) Find the solution there: https://www.chess.com/blog/Kyu13/puzzle-road-did-you-think-i-gave-my-queen-p35 Have fun in playing chess!@Kyu13

Welcome to Puzzle Road! Today is he day, when you will have to take an important decision for the puzzle, instead of just trying to find a move. In chess, you will always find many possible moves, and sometimes you can think one is better than the other. Obviously, it’s your decision and everyone has a different opinion. Moreover, a parameter in your choice can be the time control: instead of making a draw in a position where your opponent has an advantage but less time, you could possibly choose to continue the game and try making your opponent fall because of time. It the following position, I made a choice (I won’t say it you to not influence you) and I don’t regret it. Indeed, my first possibility was to try pushing the pawns and try making a Queen before my opponent. My second possibility was to protect the a-pawn and to try resisting to the push on the queen side. And my first and last possibility was a draw, because of the repetition I could make. 34/ Which decision did you take? (Topic: important decisions in chess) All the posibilities/variants and explanations, you can find them there: https://www.chess.com/blog/Kyu13/puzzle-road-which-decision-did-you-take-p34 Have a good thinking time!@Kyu13

Welcome to Puzzle Road! We’re back to the endgames puzzles! Alright, today we will analyze one of the endgames I played today against a friend (this friend will recognize himself) and saw the right move, but still played a blunder… I seriously don’t know why I did not play that, what I calculated! The move here does not allow Black to stalemate in this position. Moreover, maybe we can force our opponent to play nonsense moves? Let’s see how and why! But first, you will have to try yourself solving this puzzle. Else, it would not be called Puzzle Road! 33/ Avoiding the stalemate! (topic: stalemate, checkmate, and pawn promotion + tempos) You need help? No problem! Check the solution there: https://www.chess.com/blog/Kyu13/puzzle-road-avoiding-the-stalemate-p33 Have an excellent day full of endgames!Good luck!@Kyu13

Welcome to Puzzle Road! Let’s change a bit and try to solve a checkmate puzzle! Instead of a position from an endgame, with only a few pieces or a position where you will need to draw, today, White can force Black being checkmated. On the way to find the checkmate, you will have many problems and temptations for example winning material. But the variant that we search is not a material win. It’s a great checkmate in 3 moves! Check. Check. Checkmate. 32/ The way to checkmate. (Topic: forced checkmate) Check the solution in this blog if you did not find how to checkmate: https://www.chess.com/blog/Kyu13/puzzle-road-the-way-to-checkmate-p32 Have a great day, @Kyu13
