Let's start off with a nice and easy 1900-rated puzzle. I will be playing in a USCF blitz tournament, so I may not be able to respond quickly. I almost forgot, Black to move and win!

I have to admit, Kd5 is an illegal move. However, since you meant Ke5, I'll give you 10 points.

legal move!

kg7 ke6 kf8 and white will squeeze the black king out and win the pawn. if black takes white's pawn, white will get to the other pawn islands first.
