Yes, that is true, but then White can push the pawns and later make a queen then win the endgame

It's horribly bad. 2. Qb8+(???) throws away the queen and the win. Kxb8 and black wins.

And almost every other move would win for white.

The OP doesn't know what a puzzle is.

You know you don't have to say plain rude stuff like that

Also I was in school during the making of this so I ofc didn't have my mind 100% on this

I now realize after that Nc7+ is a better move; the rook can't take bc I can do Qg8+ (M2)

And if Kb8 I will move the knight discovered check then I will eventually win the rook

The funniest is that white had mate in 3: Nc7+, Na6+, Qb8 mate.

Instead let's throw away a rook and a queen and lose.

Just bc you think you're "so good" doesn't mean you can just criticize everyone below you

You just make fun of others to make you feel better about yourself

It's not a huge deal; you act like it's the end of the world because I made one little mistake

Who cares? It's just one puzzle! If I gave you this situation and you had 10 seconds to move, you'd probably blunder too, like in this position. This has happened to me on the board before, but it worked out because of smothered mate.

I just wanted to make a puzzle, and I was just having fun

You didn't have to ruin it but you did anyway

Dude, your "puzzle" is the worst puzzle ever. Every move wins, and somehow you manage to lose. Of course people will make fun of you.

And somehow you manage to make making fun out of people look like a miserable attempt to get at someone

@magipi is right in every respect. There is no excuse to post a flawed puzzle in 2024 with plenty of chess engines available to test it before posting it. It shows just total disrespect for the solver who puts in his effort to solve it and is wasting his time. The standard for puzzle quality is only perfection. Which implies you do need to repair every error pointed out correctly. And THANK the critic for that!

Why can’t he be ”rude” and why are you making excuses? Also, the analysis again here is flawed, because the rook cannot take simply because it cannot take, and kb8 is the only legal move.
