LOL, skotheim2, somehow I just knew to promote to the bishop!

Here's another one. After an unusual game, White finds himself down a queen with most of his pieces hanging, and Black can win in only two moves. However, it is White's move, and he can pull off the win with a tricky combination!

I know this is a silly puzzle but looks like after 2 ....Kf6, 3. e8 is checkmate regardless of the promotion (but promoting to Knight delivers an extra kick with double check).
Very true. At least White wins, anyway!

Those were both rather interesting, InfernoImpact! I especially liked the first one, showing the power of the double-check!

well, both were to show the power of the diagonals, but okay.
Here's a rather interesting endgame taken from the final game in Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993):
Not a puzzle, sorry-- but it is such an interesting game I couldn't resist putting it in..
Very interesting game! That Queen trap was a beautiful thing to see.
Do you have any information on the game? Like who played, and what their ratings were?
Well, the title says it all. Post the silliest, craziest, against-all-odds puzzles you can think of! They can be legal positions or illegal positions, just as long as they are actually forced puzzles. They don't even have to be very hard. You can make them up, or borrow an existing puzzle (just remember to credit it if you do!).
