This is the first of the 25 hardest puzzles ever. They will range from tactical decisions to mate-in-eights. The puzzles will grow harder over time, so be

careful! This one is actually quite easy, though (unless you're a 400).

If you're gonna post 25 positions, PLEASE choose another board, these 3d things are really hard on the eyes. Just a suggestion

ok sorry. I'll remember for the next one.

Not sure about the second move. I think 2.Bd5+ is stronger than taking the black queen.

Avatar of creammonster360

It might be. I'll take that as a right answer too.

You're right because it is stronger than just capturing the queen right away...

Hardest. Puzzle. Ever.

I think Rd8+ Kf7 Bxf5 is stronger

Avatar of creammonster360

It might be right, but the instructions did say "White to play and win the black queen", as in capture it. The only reason I am accepting 2. Bd5+ is becuase I can see that Wh.ite will capture the queen on the next move

Creammonster, there is an 'edit'-link on the top right on your post. Please remove the '3D' pieces Smile

you never said white to play and win the black queen

Avatar of creammonster360

I am sorry I did it wrong, but it is there. After the second move, look in the box that shows your moves.

Avatar of thunder_tiger123

well if you put it there, there's no point of doing that, because it only pops out when you solve it, so they already know what they did.
