Some of the more positional ones were pretty open ended.
I was unlucky in that I saw the right answer in 1 but had run out of time so I kept my first answer even though I was sure that I was wrong.
But I had 1 go only and 1750 it got. Like to know if only 1 right answer was allowed because I got some good answers that were different positional ideas than the given answers in the 2145 post that someone made earlier.
I had a different idea for puzzle 9.
1750
I timed each one for 5 minutes. I'd like to know the answers.
Puzzles aren'tmy sort of thing. What it really seems to show is that if you took me to a tournament and put me in front of games in progress, without giving me the scoresheets or moves that had occurred, and gave me 5 minutes each to choose a move in 10 games, I would do it at a strength of 1750.
How that relates to a real game I have no idea.
