What happens if you win the weekly competition?
You get mentioned and I will edit my original post number one and a shoutout to you.
The big prizes are for monthly winning and above
WCQ I like your tactics but they are all to general and way too easy.
(you should use a more general font not 8-bit)
I have been thinking on which to pick for weekly
here are my tied for best
friedmelon: You had 2 very quality tactics of which one was creative and a new idea.
aidanB1: You had a better king maze but it was not a original idea you also had lots of other tactics
I will announce my final vote at the 3-week mark! ( in 1 day)
White to move and mate in 2
Not according to the FEN for the position. But given that the FEN can't possibly be correct the puzzle is still valid.

Post a puzzle or tactic (You can make your own and it doesn't have to be a legal position.) and post it in the comments and you will be entered in the contest.

I think puzzles that are not original should state that, preferably with the composer's name. The awards should go to original puzzles. (Posts #13 and #55, for example, are well known.)

I'm surprised EndgameStudier gets no mention. He's posted the only two puzzles so far (#108 and #117) that defeat the Engine Analysis.
Edit: Missed the posts about originality for EndgameStudier's positions.
Queen dosen’t have to take and I vote for aidanb1

Queen doesn't get a chance to take anything.
