In setting up the position for puzzle #2, how could white have a pawn on f3 when none of black's pieces or pawns have been captured?

Nice spot there, thanks for letting me know and I have changes the puzzle so that the pawn is on g3 rather than f3.
Mistake in #14 Nf5 why should we kill the bishop when one can directly get the queen. But really appreciate some of the puzzles

If you go for the night fork and exchange your knight for the queen, you are left wit a position where black can move his king over to b8 and whatever white plays, black will then keep on repeating the moves Ka8 and Kb8 however with a knight, you can eventually kick the king out of the corner and get a queen.

feb 7 i like bxf7 better, even though it might not win the exchange, stockfish gives about a 30 centipawn difference between the moves
