Was your puzzle at #23 meant to be a joke? It's an easy win, but you give a line that says Solved! after Black has reached a drawn position.
You remind me of edwardseungwonjeong, check out his puzzles;

Ra7# is illegal I suppose?

All this endgame puzzles are irrevelant, the first position is ilegal, there is no way to get pawns like that on a rook file.
What a silly comment.

The comment is silly because the position at #2 is clearly legal. And that puzzle is not too easy, it's too hard because it's impossible. It asks for a winning line for White in a drawn position.

Yes, that's the one, and it's posted at comment #2. It's obviously legal. White's e, f, and g pawns only need six captures to reach their positions on the h-file, and Black is missing 14 units. Making a proof game for this position is child's play.
How long did you think about the position before calling it illegal?

I don't think YuriSenkevich is going to answer my question--probably not a surprise. I am a little surprised no one has challenged my claim that the first problem, comment #2, is a draw and not a win for White. I thought the OP, at least, might want to defend his composition.
@n9531I I guess the composer didn't consider the defence 1..0-0!

He might have, and decided he could revise the stipulation to specify Black has lost castling rights. But that's not the only move to draw.
nice end game puzzles
thanks
