At least I got the idea,that's an improvement 😀

Mephisto's turn to post a puzzle.

Think I got it,will wait for ravello,he needs a confident boost.
Hmm,actually,after that last one,so do I LOL

I guess Ravello don't want to play anymore....😕

Ok,here goes: 1.Qxg2,Qxg2 2.Rxe2 3.Qxc6,bxc6 using the pin on the queen to gain the exchange.

Yes,I'm depressed...........😞

Aside from Rav's depression, what'd I miss? Anything good?

Welcome back,you missed lots.I solved every puzzle in brilliant fashion!None of my solutions were correct but that's just a minor detail,right?It's the brilliancy that counts!The beauty! LOL 😉😛

I'm out of puzzles,you get us a new one 🙂

Ok,ok,seems like you need the old Ravello for some puzzles,here it is a simple one:
White:Ke1,Rf1,Rh1,g3
Black:Kg2

White mates in three

OK! Here's my shot:

1. Rf1-f4...

a) IF 1. ... Kxh1 then
2. Ke1-f2, Kh1-h2
3. Rf4-h4 mate

b) IF 1. ... Kxg3 then
2. 0-0, Kg3-h3
3. Rf1-f3 mate

WELL? How'd I do?
