Daily Puzzle Submissions! *Be Involved*
I am puzzled by the forkman's puzzle. It should be a one mover. I don't know why the solution should be that long.
This puzzle if from a blitz (10 minute) game. It is White to move and win material.
This is fairly simple, you should see the solution almost immediately.Someone asked about an editor. I use the excellent free Babas Chess, which also allows you to play online. It has a full range of editing options, including saving positions to the clipbloard in fen/pgn format for pasting into chess.com's own editor. I haven't had a lot of luck with the chess.com editor so I prefer to use that one, and it's free! Just do a search for Babas or go directly to the website:

Try this one. Its from a game I had played quite recently. The level of difficulty is Easy. Mate in 4.
It is not mate in 4, that requires that your opponent makes exactly the moves you wish him to make. Then it's not a puzzle but a chess dream. What would be the response to 27.Qc8?

then its Ra7# cuz the knight is blocking b3
