 yes, the same for me.it took me a minute to find the first move and then all the others just flowed after i found it.

What happens if 6 Bxb5 not Nxb5?

Avatar of ewan81

This does just "flow": It's too easy after the second check, because it's been worked from final position back, rather than being real. What the hell is the white king doing on f5, anyway?!

 Bxb5 leads to mate 1 move sooner 6 Bxb5 axb5+ 7 Kxb5 Ra5+ 8 Kxc6 Bd5# because Whites knight blocks d6.

The thing that has tired me with chess puzzles is how 99% sac the queen.

Whenever I see a puzzle I just look for how I can sac the queen, they are pretty easy after that.

For me a good reminder to keep the pressure on.
