(This is wrong

You are half right.  1. Kc3 Kc7. Now what? (Or 1. Kd3 Kd7.)

Trexler, I know you're still working on #3071, but I have another one I think you'll enjoy solving. You can take a look at it after you're done with the current one.

White to play and win

At first I saw the move and I thought, "what difference does it make?" Then I see the difference

edit- I know there's a mate in one, but what I meant was it to be a mate in 4. Oops. Should've looked at the analysis.

Mate in 3

I almost got it right. I thought the third move should be Bb8# instead of Bc7#.

1. Qe2+ fails after Kf5. But 1. gxf8=Q does lead to mate in 2.

@Trexler3241:  Why are you posting illegal positions instead of finishing your solution of #3073?

@Trexler3241 where the hell is the king?

Should I post this in the forum "Why do you get angry when you lose?"

Puzzle. Black to move.

The first rule of checkmate:  If you can mate in one, do it.

The notation 1. Qbxd2 can be ignored because the stipulation for the position is Black to move. The solution is 1...Qd5#.

If it had been White to move, Black would still win but the stipulation would have been different.

I mean that white moved Qbxd2, and now it's your move as black. It is not a mate in one.

With that move by White, it's an easy mate in two for Black. Could White have held out longer?

White to play and mate in 3

Insane Rook!!

If you want to turn Thebluehill's position into a puzzle, you will need the stipulation. It's "White to play and win".
