Do you read Wings of Fire?
yes, but why say that on this thread?
Three puzzles for you from my games. Based on the average difficulty and the ratings associated with it, these could easily be 2000 rated puzzles on this site. The second one is the easiest of the three.
I got those in 3 secs cause I've seen them all before, lol
I mean Snudoo. It sounds like Sundew and Bumblebee calls Sundew Snudoo.
yeah that's how a baby dragon would say it
Oh my pass rate is also only 48% well its ok.
mine is 47. rip
mine is 45%
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.

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.
Whites first move is Kf1?? @eric0022
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.
