that unmoved, white bishop is not supposed to be there. i guess it doesn't really matter, though.

slightly confusing, took a little time to work out why black will lose as i thought the Queen could move to a defensive square

Not sure, but I don't think that this puzzle is accurate. Let me know if I missed something Surprised

exactly, Giovanni. thanks.

Skillz88:

if queen moves to a defensive square, then white can simply attack the king twice more to end the game.

xevs, also, in your final position black has the simple QxQ.

I think I found a cute little finish. I think it doesn't have flaws. :] Correct me where im wrong.

 

 

 

 

Note: after the Bxe5+ black had also the option of moving the black king to h7. In this Case one of the following 2 sequences would take place. All of wich lead to a forced win for white. But the key-move for a guaranteed win is the queening of the c-pawn.

Any other suggestions?

Pretty complicated puzzle:p where it doesn't seem there's exactly one combination right. But I'm sure..this one works. If it's the fastest, i wonder :D

 

 

 

 

 

or...

this variation.

Why make him look bad with all of these ways of making is way look bad?

Dinkydoe, in your first example, Black most certainly can play Rf7 blocking the check, and in fact it leaves black slightly ahead. Rd8+ is met by Qxd8+ and a huge advantage for black.

not true. Lemme show an example.

  •   Roses-Horn, no it shouldnt be rd8 + immediately. Butbisshopf-6..black loses also after rook-blocks. If white exploits the pin on blacks king. Take a look at this example. Black loses in all variations. The c-pawn queening is the only right winning move in my opinion.

 (note: on move 7 blacks best move is to give up the queen for bisshop, so that after 7..Qxf6 . 8.Rxf6...black is gonna lose his rook as well, because it's pinned and attacked by 2 pieces.)

mugsssy - I am not sure about the solution. what about 4...exd3+ ? it opens many options some of them are very risky to white
