Hi. I have a very interesting position where the engine malfunction and can’t decide who is better! It is not a puzzle but it is quite an interesting position. Black’s pawns prevent piece development, meanwhile White is down 24 points!

It is White to move. Play the moves the engine thinks is best for White and just play what you think is best for Black and you will see something very interesting.

Chess.com hit me up with an endgame puzzle yesterday, and what else did I do, if not struggle? Gotta work on those endings! Here's the puzzle:

Many lines win, I actually did spot the first moves but my opponent followed a different path.

Win a queen for white!

Not gonna lie, that particular line is a hard tricky one

The endgame puzzles are absolutely the hardest ones! The other kind I struggle with are the ones where my King starts off in check! This is a nice one.

Those two are the hardest ones for me as well.

White to move mate in one

There are two mate in one in the position. I found the rook move. Too bad you are only allowed to enter one move though.

In my king's gambit game on chess.com against benedikt0108. I chose to play Bc5 and won anyway. But could you find something better as black? (intermediate/advanced). I found the move during analysis and also while visiting puzzlik.com.

Another endgame puzzle for y'all to vibe with.

Man these are hard!

@Sebu13 Beautiful puzzle, man! Also since a lot of us here struggle with endgames, I find these endgame puzzles of the utmost relevance.

Here is a puzzle from one of my games, I was playing as White. I made a mistake but ultimately won the game, since my opponent missed a resource due to limited time on the clock. Level : 1400-1600

Hi everyone. Sorry for not being so active lately. I have been very busy with the holidays ending. Also, for some reason, my device isn’t responding well recently, and I messaged this before but it got all deleted, but it doesn’t matter that much. If there is a second message of the same thing, I am sorry in advance. I have composed this puzzle. I am not sure if it has already been composed before me, since there are little pieces on the board. Level = Intermediate.

Same idea was mentioned in Dvoretsky's Endgame manual but this particular puzzle is cool and fresh!

This is a good puzzle and I appreciate that you've composed it yourself. I've done a similar one before, and I remember it, because I got it wrong that time.

I think this puzzle is severely underrated at 2600. The solving rate is 7.8%, so don't be mad at yourself, if you struggle with it.

A hint: you won't checkmate, but you have to try to.

I also have a puzzle from my game

I have no idea, why these moves were awarded as brilliances, but who am I to disagree? It was a daily game, so I could show you "the most calculated game" for me ever

Find the only defensive moves for white!

Nice tactic I spotted in one of my games today, try to figure out what would you do if white didn't follow this line!
