Kf2 Qh4+, then black has Ng3 blocking.
Also theres Kg2 etc etc. After Rxh5, gxh5, white also has the g4 square for his queen to pop in.

does this now mean black has no options or just that I didnt find the right one? :)

ShadowIKnight

hehe not telling

ShadowIKnight

indeed Bd3+ may be the best in a bullet game; which I missed -.- lol. Well I played a move that was just as good, but Bd3+ had to be the follow up for it to be good; and I played it wrong -.-

ShadowIKnight

Thanks for 4k views guys!
One of my best puzzles yet, from my own game! Quite an exciting mate in the real game, having I think missed one before (random rook sac ftw :D), but after that stupid move, play accurately for black!

A lot of exclamation marks here =P
Note move 6: there are two moves, I apologise for the mistake

For the real game link, http://www.chess.com/livechess/game.html?id=137831863

Note: the set begin and end things keep messing up, so for notice the first move is Rh1+ which is WRONG, but to get to the "puzzle". Also, after Na3, there are about 3 moves to choose from (movelist), which are all winning, and note that is where the puzzle is supposed to end. Sorry in advance.

how about big rochade with preparation of Dh3, Dh2# with just the possibility for Bh3 and loss of this piece...just thinking :) and in the end there is still a long way to checkmate with the Rh1 gone...

ShadowIKnight

Sorry, it doesnt seem to let me start the puzzle even though I put set begin... lemme edit it again

edit: ok it works fine now, tell me if it messes up again and switches back to move one for whatever reason.

zschess

Nice puzzle.

ShadowIKnight

easy one, sorry been revising for exams. A little opening one too, for those who like openings (not a great "advantage though", but good "practice" for getting through openings you don't know). Edit: 2nd puzzle extended slightly from 2 moves.

zschess

Good puzzle,what is the opening?

ShadowIKnight

Dunno, its how I learn a little, but I forget them all again lol. Its this one, where I played it unusually by mistake, but its nice to learn as black how to respond:

zschess

I mean the 2nd puzzle.

ShadowIKnight

oh the 2nd puzzle was a random continuation from the first one too, both from the same opening

zschess

Wow!

ShadowIKnight

Ok another puzzle I made up, its from no game:

ShadowIKnight

okay, the answer for analyze is... there is none!

 

Something like this; theres nothing amazing for black anyway. The majority of games will require moves like this to gain the advantage, and then its onto "winning a won game" where it is an interesting article :O Obviously OTB it would be almost impossible to carry out these moves :( But practice makes perfect.
