One sec under construction: Oh and fezzik Ka3 Rf3.
Edit: ok maybe the real puzzle may not be accurate, im not sure.

Uuh Fezzik I think you may be right, so I'm not gonna carry on the analysis and just change the puzzle to 2 moves =P That sound reasonable?

Avatar of ShadowIKnight

Oh wait I must be going crazy, Qxd7 I think its the best move, HOW I overlooked that i don't know, and everything becomes much simpler after that. Qe1 is just confusingly winning =( I've included Qxd7 in the analysis above now. But yeah the puzzle i made was flawed =( I don't think ill bother making puzzles like them again; too much bother xD

Similar, hmm yeah another not so good puzzle. Rdc1 is even stronger than Rac1 anyway (I think). lol, getting puzzles to satisfy for you and others is like an exam :P

Maybe thats why there are so many changes in tactics trainer, I wonder who puts them in =)

Okay a new one: Is this drawn, won for black, or won for white? Please explain your reasoning behind it, and if possible, provide a diagram/game moves.

great puzzles! for #3, isn't it a mate in 3 as white can move his pawn to block?

Theres another answer; which has also been posted by Fezzik on the first page if you ever want to look at it.

@Fezzik Correct as usual (though that one WAS quite easy, only including a little calculation that a3 and king protecting the a3 pawn cannot hold he position)

Alright ill make the next one now, it'll be up in 20-30 mins depending on if i manage to make one or not.

I don't care if the engine says b3 is better, this is so much nicer xD Ok strictly speaking its not a real puzzle then... but ehh =( came from one of my "future" anaylsis games AGES ago again. You may have seen it before as I have posted it before on another acc some years ago.

Or I can edit it, but nah.

yep nice one

Avatar of ShadowIKnight

This ones an easy one, many winning moves too, but the one in mind is quite nice and the best.

Avatar of ShadowIKnight

And yet another one that I've made... this is getting a bit repetitive isnt it =P maybe I should stop.
