White foolishly accepts black's pawn sacrifices and gets himself in a spot of trouble. Can you spot the mate?

I assume it is black to move (contrary to your diagram's information) and therefore the solution is 1... c3+ 2. Bc4 Qxc4#

Sorry i was again half-way through making a puzzle. i don't understand the end bit ("-") of the fen though.

Avatar of Nytik

Well, in your new version, there isn't a checkmate. Are you sure that pawn you stuck on c3 is supposed to be there?

Look again Nytik, look again. Bulge out your eyes until you finally understand whats so annoying and why i talked about fen (im not copying puzzles, i just posted it so i could copy its fen to alter it a bit)

Avatar of Nytik

Ah. You haven't made en passant legal. That is problematic.

The correct FEN to make the puzzle possible is the following:

rn2k1nr/pp3pbp/2P3p1/3q4/bPpP4/P1P1P3/K5PP/RNB1QBNR b KQkq d3 0 1

Hope that helps. Smile

well hmm i entered that and it said somethings wrong (object error)

oh cool works now thanks. i found out that if you enter an incorrect fen, any other fen (even correct) will fail to the object error thing... or maybe the same message that was the error before (i havnt tested). why is there sometimes two "--"? and then sometimes one "-"?

ive also made it into puzzle form now.
