For begginers- Weekly Challenges

Chessdude, nice 1000-elo puzzle, but you should post it in the "More Puzzles" forum if you want folks looking for puzzles to see it. This forum is for post-game analysis only. ;)

It says weekly but it is easier for me to do these on Friday. Next is Back row/ side row mate.

Well it is for begginer/new players statrting to play chess.
It's worth noting that 3.Rh5 mates just as fast. Black's in zugzwang--his king wishes he could pass, and so remain on g8 to delay mate, but he's compelled to move. 3...Kf8 Rh8#. The move's also "shorter" which might matter in games with no delay nor increment.

unless you are playing in real life...
I'm not sure what you mean. I see 3.Rh5 in a split second... zugzwang is a crucial endgame concept and many positions cannot be won without it. Also, "real life" blitz is usually played at 5 0 time controls--no delay, no increment.

SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY
Good luck with this one
Ive got to catch up with missing ones so here is two more
IT'S AN EASY PUZZLE.
ADK
It's a skewer, not a pin. A pin is when a less valuable piece can't move because it's shielding a more valuable one. A skewer is when a valuable piece has to move, leaving the piece behind it open to capture.
Sorry I myself get confussed on terms. Starting sometime in January Ill MOVE THIS FORUM TO "MORE PUZZLES". Thank you for your coroperation.
Lets start off easy find the best move.
