I'm afraid it's not quite there yet, although you're getting much closer.  1.Kf6 h5 2.Kg6 hxg4 3.Nf6 h3 4.Nf7#

Almost, just one move off! In your line, 3.Nd8 h2 4.Nf7#

Ok try this one, this time I (guarantee?) u best solution:

This is the best forced solution in my oppinion, look in move list for different solutions.

rooperi, I'd love to join a group for people who like to try to create studies. I've always wished that I knew more about it, but, as nimzovich says, there isn't really much that can be taught.

And you're right that we are too quick to criticize. I apologize for being so indelicate in pointing out the multiple solutions in my earlier post.


As a newcomer to this site, and an intermediate (at best) player, I think it's important/helpful (when a high rated player) to classify whether a puzzle has more than one intended ending.  For example, either a set of rules (ie. a certain first move)  to follow to the finish, or a set number of moves.  If a puzzle is flawed, (for lack of a better word), it makes it difficult for lesser rated players to benefit (learn) from them.

In either case, I am already enjoying Chess.com, and glad I stumbled upon it!  Thanks all!
