Art of Chess Puzzles

Hello everyone, I am a big fan of chess puzzles and recently bought a pretty crazy book on amazon that I can really recommend. The author is Conrad, a Swiss computer science student and chess player who claimed to have developed an ai which created 20 million high end puzzles, so he put 64 of the best in a book called "art of chess puzzles". Done with the magic. The puzzles are like from aliens from planet Carlsen with an elo of 4000 or so, the purest madness. But his explanations are good and even I understand the detailed solutions. Have fun!

How are the solutions explained?

Hey Aki, great to hear from you. Yeah, half of the book is about the solutions. There are countless graphics for the best solution and a description of the alternative moves. And honestly, I thought my solutions would be good, but then it turns out that he always foumd something better. E.g., you could kill his queen, but no, you mate him in 5 moves. Man, that's like Bobby F. on steroids.
