ok fine fair enuf. but im sure doing really hard puzzles will make your brain more intelligent, like doing really hard maths making you more intelligent and then you go and do something like science, probably seems easier because you just had your brain "workout" a bit.
Endgame fun: 2

ok i give up. now i understand why you called it HOGWASH =P
Doing hard maths doesn't make you more intelligent. Nothing can make you more intelligent. (Once you have passed your childhood years...)
Perhaps it's better to play 1.a8(Q) a4 2.Qa5 axb3 3.cxb3 c2 4.Qc3#?

I think he mean that there is no way that puzzle could happen in real life on the board, don't worry about NM Reb he just being funny Lord Chaos.
Of course it couldn't happen - white can't have 9 pawns!!!

yes - but the puzzle is more fun (and utterly annoying) the way Lord-Chess has it set up...
SirDavid your right =D didn;t see it.
Haha, here are some masters all arguing with LordChaos over the ethics of a puzzle with an illegal or impossible starting position, and SirDavid comes along and actually contributes a variation that invalidates the whole thing, anyway. I love it.

There was no need to find such a variation, as the start position was invalid I didn't even attempt the puzzle... the illegal start position trumps any superior variations.
So i should add an extra white pawn to a3, and that'll stop your fast mate. but hey i feel like this thingy should close down, cus theres so much bad feedback on these kind of puzzles that i feel that they're like illegal here. can staffs close the Topic?
uuuh im ok with DOING what the negatives say because unfortunately and fortunately (my new puzzles may be more "appreciated", although that may not be so), they are like 20% of chess.com.
and you said im reposting a famous chess puzzle? i just wanted to make a chess puzzle made from that famous idea, so i suppose your right. any puzzle linking to this idea of pawning is basically copying almost.
but thank you for your insights nimzovich

When you're dealing with me, you can hardly expect anything else! 
Or is that somehow contradicting everything?
i like it =)
but i think we really should STOP posting here, to bump this thread. can i please ask for a staff to delete it? the puzzles a failure as there is no pawn on a3, and i can't be bothered to edit it =P and theres "no point" too of course to satisfy others.
cool...
"knightmares" that's funny, yea.
I never try and solve chess problems ( when did they start calling them "puzzles" ? ) that look they didnt come from an actual game or cant come from an actual game. Its a waste of time/effort imo.
