I am going to be posting some chess puzzle with a twist. Each position is white to move and mate in 3 unless otherwise stated. If you come up with a mate in 4 or more, it does not count. Each of white's moves MUST be captures and white may not make any moves that are not captures and the final mating move must also be a capture. Black can make any legal move and his moves do not have to be captures it may be possible to give mate in 2 moves if black plays inferior defence.

Basically to sum it up... it is whites turn to move in each puzzle. You play white and each of your moves must invovle capturing a piece. It is all mate in 3 unless it says otherwise. IN this case, it says mate in 2. Therefore... with this puzzle, you are white, your moves must take pieces each time, including the final checkmate move which also takes a piece. Does that make sense now?
