Post your own-created chess puzzles here!

This far, all the posted puzzles are orthodox chess puzzles (which means you are following the rules and ambitions of normal chess), so maybe it could be fun with less orthodox puzzles. I composed a ”duck chess puzzle”, meaning it’s a normal chess puzzle but it’s duck chess.

If you didn’t know, the duck works like this: After one’s ordinary piece move, they must move the duck. The duck just sits there and blocks a square or a diagonal/file.

Can someone try to solve it?

The puzzle was in the comment above. And, here it is again:

There is only one way to win, and that way includes promoting the pawn. The question is, how to make it happen?

Just trash and wrong, @scopegranites and @vividkreations. We don't need any ChatGPT trash talk.

Does someone want to solve my duck puzzle?

I expected something a bit more advanced.

Well done, @SuryaVS! But did you consider black's try 2... Ke5@f6?

As you can see, you always have to be careful so you don't get stalemated!

Do you talk about the duck puzzle? If you didn't understand it, it's fine. Those duck moves were nessecary for the pawn to promote.

I have composed a new puzzle today.

Resourceful attacking and defensive play by both sides make this puzzle pretty nice!

Ok, I didn't know that you have to capture the opponent's king to win in duck chess. I thought that it was just normal chess except for the duck. I have now fixed the duck puzzle instuctor.

Here's a simple chess puzzle.

That puzzle was the worst I've ever seen, for several reasons:
1. White had multiple solutions on almost every move. Breaks the rule of having exactly one solution.
2. The puzzle was very long and the solution included the totally irrelevant conversion.
3. The puzzle didn't demonstrate any idea, which makes it wothless.

Yeah I know, i made it very quickly.

Good puzzles are almost never composed quickly. If they are, they are almost never good.

Can you stop saying just "ok" and "what", please?!

I discovered that my puzzle with N+B/pawns had double solutions on move 6, other than 6.Ne4 white also had 6.Nh5! with the same purpose. The puzzle is most easily fixed by adding a black pawn on d5.

I told you to stop!!!
