I don't know, I was thinking it would be a draw if he took my bishop then both sides don't have enough material but black would then easily queen one of his pawns. so I would move my king out into center of board and try to get an attack on his pawns or bishop

A couple of usual rules for chess puzzles I've usually found are that you must specify if en passant is possible and you must specify if castling is possible. FEN notation takes care of this with the fileds following the position.

White's always on the bottom. Pieces use the initials from algebraic notation. (P=pawn, N=Knight, B=Bishop, R=Rook, Q=Queen, and K=King. The White pieces are capitalized and the Black pieces use little letters. Ranks are separated using /. They always list the piees starting in the upper left and going across each rank then down to the next rank. Numbers denote how many empty squares ina row.
Whose move? Use "w" for White and "b" for Black.
If either side can castle then KQkq is used to denote who and where. Remeber Capitals mean White pieces. K is for Kingside and Q is for Queenside.
Any en passant target squares are given in algebraic notation.
Number of plys for the fifty move rule.
Move number.

For example this is the FEN of the starting position... (the "-" denotes no en passant.)

cool !! but it is obvious that the first move is a check thereby eliminating right away other variations.

Which puzzle is this about? By Check This One 1?

White to move and find a winning sequence. Warning: Very hard! Even the best engines can't seem to figure this out.

Move king, then nc1-e2-g1-h3-f2-d1-b2-a4, and the knight will get all pawns. EASY

Just a fun little puzzle.

Very nice, but not a "perfect" composition because 3. Nd8 works just the same.
