Chess puzzles & Interesting Games

I hope you have found the puzzles interesting and you enjoyed solving them

Really tough

I like it!

Very nice

Nice

good one

In the first one, 5...Qxg2! is better than 5...Bxg2 and 6...Nb6 is probably the third or fourth best move in the position. 

Hi @SymslovFan  I am sure that there were other ways to checkmate! And I think white could do some better moves also to avoid checkmate, but it would just win some time, because finally the games has been already won by black. I found interesting how this GM decided to checkmate, and it is true me neither didn't understand that move 6. ... Nb6 

It's great and fun and helps you get up very quickly, I like to think about them for hours.

Dinulndre, you set it up as a puzzle. That implies automatically that the main variation follows the best line, even if the game does not.

That's true, maybe I should have put it just as the game it was, not as puzzle. I thought it would be  interesting to see if others think the same line as the GM  It is great you have found others ways to reach the same goal

The other puzzles looked good tho! The one in post #10 is a classic.
