ok, going to give it another shot. This is a puzzle by Richard Reti, I took from a book. I still don't get it. Is the puzzle correct or does it have faulty moves by black?

You made a mistake

3rd move should be Ke6 or Ke7

Ke5 loses because after h2 and Kd6 and h1=Q, notice that Black has a closer King to the pawn and it is not on the 7th rank, so there might be a mistake with that.

Correct it and resend it.

If you promote to a queen then Bxg2 and white is winning but missed his chance to win quicker, so the puzzle would not be solved

Puzzle 2: I'll give you a hint on this next one, the first promotion is a knight, you'll see why!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Puzzle 3: Another strange occasion...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Puzzle 4: Black had agreed in this game to mirror whites moves. Bad choice! Mate in 4!
