very easy puzzles !
yes they are supposed to be fairly easy to an intermediate player.thanks for posting.
how would YOU rate these puzzles on a scale of 1-10, 1 being easy and 10 being very hard.
I would say between 3 and 4.
Easy puzzles but good exersice. Thanks for sharing.
On the second puzzle, isn't 3.Rd8 quicker?
For example,
3...Ba3 4.Nxf7#
3...Rxd8 4.Nxf7#
actually it's longer because it's not a check move and gives black a chance to open up a little by moving the h pawn out he will lose any way though.
