Welcome SirDavid, Nimzovich and tonydal.
I've made all of you admin, please feel free to to add themes, logos and stuff, I'm no good at that sort of stuff.
Maybe even the odd limerick....

This is the first study that I composed, and it had a larger impact than I expected. It has been discussed intensively in some chess forums and in the near future it will be part of a chess studies book... I'll attach references later. Enjoy! [Hint] Computers may (badly) misevaluate this position long time into the solution and I enjoy mocking the chess engines.
White to move and win.

I have made some puzzles, and I hope others in this club have too. This forum is for sharing your compositions.

This is one I've just completed & I hope you have as much fun solving it as I had creating it!
I've checked it with Problemiste & there's only one solution in 6 moves.
White to move & mate in 6 moves...
{ Here's the FEN string: 8/8/8/3ppp2/3k4/2R2rP1/3K4/2N5 w - - 0 1 }

Edited: After some more work, this looks ready for use but still isn't perfect by any means. I've tried to reduce the number of superfluous lines to an absolute minimum but can't get them down any further.
Anyway, see what you think
White to move & mate in 4 moves...
{ FEN String: R4nk1/2p2n1p/2P4p/2P4P/3B1p2/1B5K/1PN2P2/8 w - - 0 1 }* Please note that the above is a diagram only - I'll post the solution later.

Just having fun for the first time with retractors:
White might have checkmated on the last move.
White to take back his last move, and mate at once:

I came across a clipping of a chess puzzle from a local paper some time ago & I'm not making much progress with it. It's entitled "White to play & win", so I assume it's about winning material but I just cannot see how...
Unfortunately, there's no solution with the puzzle which is why I'm asking for help.
Here's the FEN string: 4r1k1/5p2/pq1p2p1/n3r2n/Pp4Q1/1P1BN2P/4RPP1/4R1K1 w - - 0 1

Hello all,
It's been a while since I posted a study in this forum, so here you are: the hardest study for computers that I have composed so far.
White to move and win. Enjoy! (solution will be posted shortly...)

Is there a way to check for anticipations online somewhere?
Here's the puzzle (not particularly difficult, but I think somewhat cute):

This study was published in Deutsche Schachzeitung,in 1905.I like the trajectory of white Queen,in a nice zigzag.

This time I had my revenge; the problem below (mate in two) was solved. Took me a long while, though.

Can somebody come up with a conposition that reaches (or includes) this mating pattern?
I got nothing ..... :(

I finally got a better organization of the chess-part of the site.

Future studies will be added as they are published.
Enjoy!
