I can't load this puzzle (apart from the starting position before the opponent makes the move) since I have exhausted my daily puzzles...

 

I can't seem to find a way around this for some reason.

I’ve seen that puzzle before. It’s pretty tricky, but not really

Whites first move is Kf1?? @eric0022

2nd IS the easiest, was able to solve it.

for first one i was able to guess the first 2 moves,

wasn't able to solve the last one

 

The second and third positions came from the same game. This is the game.

Not sure if I have actually attempted this before,

 

Let me see...

 

1. Kf1?? Qh4 (2. Re2/Qe2? Qh1#, while 2, g3 Qh2 is similar)

2. Kd2 Qf2+ (3. Kc1 Qxf4 should be winning for Black, but I rushed this puzzle and had not analysed it properly)

3. Kd3 Qxf4

 

White has e7 coming, but I presume White is still at a disadvantage.

 

I initially looked at 1...d5 and 1...Rxf7 first, but these seem to lead nowhere. 1...d5 allows 2. Qd3 with an attack on the f5 pawn.

after ...Qh4, white moves his bishop to block the dark squared bishop. What do you do then?

 The bishop recaptures after which you play qa1

Recently I have started to get lazy in calculating moves in both my games and puzzles. As expected, my ratings are going downhill, especially in bullet. Some days I calculate deep...some days I lose momentum. Some days...I feel like a beginner.

90% of my thinking time is double checking my move when I am doing puzzles.

Had not seen this one...

 

I looked at the g4 pawn, but capturing it seems fatal for Black.

 

Seems like Black has no choice but to swap bishops and be greedy for the a1 rook. But that f7 knight gives me the creepy feeling.

I was able to solve it pretty quickly too, strange it was rated 2417, that's why I posted it here
