Puzzles & Patterns; 02/22/25 (Day #250)

cool! got all three

interesting and we hit 250

solved

problem solved

not sure what I am missing. but on puzzle 1: why can't the immediate Qb2 not be played?

1 was medium, 2 was really easy, but 3 was really good.

G pawn will promote

TRIPLE THREAT!

SMOTHERMATE!!!!!

nice one

For puzzle 1, how come not Qb2+ right away?

Because after Qxb2, Qxb2, white has cxd6+, and their g pawn promotes

White would be winning then, because they have more pawns
