for good description of old rules.

I like these.

done

this puzzle is real neat!

Nice! Always look for symmetries in a puzzle. Symmetries are commonly related to zugzwang, so you know what to hunt for in the solution.

Certainly, if 3 = 2

Great puzzle. I never seem to do well with waiting moves

Btw, how u make your own puzzle?

Fortunately, I made the correct move having never seen this puzzle before.

Btw, I analyzed your game. Provisional conclusion: the move 1.e4 was correct. Probably best to erase the remainder of the game from all records, including this forum. But that is up to you.

You enter a puzzle in the same way you entered your game with the addtition that you must check the Puzzle box on the Theme page. That will cause your Moves to be hidden and require solvers to find these themselves. 

Thank you!

You succeeded in producing a puzzle according to the chess.com rules. To make a fair puzzle you must either be a good player or a good puzzlemaker. Both require some talent and a lot of practice.

A puzzle basically has one solution, meaning only one move at each turn leads to the goal - mostly checkmate or a clear win. Your puzzle end is not checkmate since the king can take the rook. Also, your moves are not the best or the only moves to win for white - they actually lose if black defends better. This is a long way from a correct puzzle.

I suggest you first improve your game rating to at least 1500 before attempting to make puzzles. A puzzle must always be perfect and I don't think you are strong enough yet to achieve that.

Oh

I bumped this puzzle 1. I really like these seemingly simple economic diagrams. 2. I thought the conversation of the movements of chess pieces 700 years ago did not fit this puzzle would resume in some way.

rhg7 no matter where any piece moves it leads to a checkmate
