Let's design tactical puzzles where Bulldog chess pieces are involved. I will try to come up with one coming evening.

The witch should probably be centered in most of them: The best tactics come from that.

Or jokers...

White to move has a good move.

(In #3 the black d-pawn was on f but I have moved that on to d - sorry for this confusion)

1.Wd3 Rcj8 2.Wa6+ Kc8 3.Ra8+ Kd7 4.Qb5+ is a quite exciting line, where it looks like white will have to play Rxj8 at some point to avoid getting mated.

I don't see anything better than Wd3. I think it is better for white, but it is hard to tell.

Wd5 works too.

Oops I didn't see this escape for Black. My idea was just threatening mate and also threatening QxQ.

What piece is on f4?

 

Avatar of evert823

Wc1 covers the mate and white is material up anyways

Avatar of landontu
