Another One. 8. Kd3 is also possible, but anyway:

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.

  1. 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.
  2. Whose move? Use "w" for White and "b" for Black.
  3. 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.
  4. Any en passant target squares are given in algebraic notation.
  5. Number of plys for the fifty move rule.
  6. Move number.

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

That’s not really a puzzle at all.

Appeared in a game I played as Black recently. Neither player caught the drawing idea.

Very easy puzzle.

Black has moves way better than exd5, which allows two different mates in one. For example 1...f6

My first puzzle it's easy to medium.

Black doesn't have to take the queen though. I'm pretty sure that 2...h3 wins

If 2... h3 then 3.Qxg4+ Kxg4 (forced) 4.Kxf3 and White will capture the h pawn and draw. Of course, Black could play 1...Kf5 instead of 1... Kg4 and then 2.Kf2 is no good because Qxc1 is not stalemate, but White can draw anyway with the right checks:

True but nevertheless 1. d5! is a crushing move.  So therefore it's puzzle worthy.  The solution just chooses to demonstrate the key idea of the move.  Kind of like the Chess.com Daily Puzzle does quite often.happy.png
