Is the trick that white and black are reversed? That's not very fun.

Ahhh I tried. I see the mates if the positions are reversed, but I'm just not getting it. Can someone PM me the answer? I can't see how white can check black (unblocked) and protect the f-pawn and G-rook at the same time. Likewise I tried to think outside the box..is "mates in 1" a wordplay or something? Nothing is coming.

Got it with some help from posters. Thanks!

Could someone please PM me the answer to Swissgambit's puzzle? Thanks.

For kicks, try finding the mate in 1 with the sides reversed. It's a nice mating puzzle for a beginner.

What's a FEN?

And, Ragwort is one funny dude.

But it is really clear, i mean without any doubt, that the mating move is in fact legal?
