Hello,

Recently I decided I would start making some simple chess compositions. After I used a very entertaining tactical theme in a blitz game and in post-game analysis it turned out to be flawed (like most blitz decisions) I decided to showcase it in a chess composition, that would be more rich in tactical strikes and, more importantly, it would be correct.

In any case this is my first chess composition so please be forgiving :) Have fun solving all the lines, believe me, the position is quite remarkable (position was not taken from any game known to me)

Sorry I had to use 3 different boards, but I have no idea how to make puzzles including multiple lines on one board similar to ct-art. In any case, I hope you enjoyed that beautiful position and at least tried to calculate as far as possible :) Let me know what you thought about this one and maybe from those who have experience in creating chess puzzles, some further advise would be appreciated.
 
 
p.s. I think that position might be one of the best positions I have encountered to teach advanced calculation. It is pretty instructive considering the plethora of mating patterns. The only downside is that not in all lines there is one solution.

Gah, it seems either the puzzle is terrible or the community is very lazy :)
