Battle of 2bRook ⚔️

fun!

I don't see how it's possible to get two e-pawns when black hasn't moved their e-pawn nor made any captures.

Same for black's two d-pawns.

I suppose there could be piece promotions though.

Hm this puzzle seems too smart for me. Both positions seem impossible.

Perhaps I should refer this to the "shortest proof games" thread. They're much smarter.

So satisfying

Hello my friend.

I have had real hard time trying to make a puzzle that tick these boxes:

- A puzzle where you have a rook climbing up towards the opposing king to deliver checkmate as seen in both puzzles.

- This must be a winning puzzle as opposed to numbers of mating moves puzzle. The starting side most not have a winning chance otherwise-ly.

- The puzzle must be achieved from a normal starting position.

With that said, promoted pieces can be used to get the pawns to line up in a suitable position.

You are welcome to suggest if there is a way to make all the above fall into place.

Stop mocking Chess! I will bar you from my club if you ever show these ideas there.

That can be solved by a promotion-trick. However there are other issues. The situation is very inflexible. I have been working on a solution to this headache of a puzzle. If I was not as stubborn I would have give in long ago. There must surely be a way.

My friends, plz go to the top of this thread and look for the "grey" version. The beast seems to be tamed, at last!  🦁
