A New Thread on Endgame Puzzles.

I have TWO other threads on middlegame puzzles but I have only a few end-game puzzles. Let's try these:

Try this one, then, the first;

Mate in 1 for White. White's move.

And this one, the second.

White to mate in 2 and White's move.

White to mate in 2 and White's move.

Now this one's pretty good. Starts with a 'quiet' move.

Thank you kbaumen!

White to move and mate in three.

Edit, oops at first I posted a wrong position.

Bxc6 Ke4
Nf6+ Ke5
Nd7#
I think that's it. I enjoy puzzle-solving.
EDIT: I think that you can have Nd7# or Bc3#.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but the king is already on e4, I posted a mistaken position but it's fixed. And after Bxc6 black could play exd.

The third of my puzzles. Created just now so very easy:

White to play and Mate in 1.

Oh yeah! Dang!
Nf6+ Ke5
Bc3# or Nd7#
Isn't that right? By the way, I say that confusedly, I thought you said Mate in 3.

Damn, didn't see that. Ok, a black pawn on g7.

Can you play then;
Ne7 Ke5
Bc3# Ke4
Bxc6#
or
Ne7 e5
Bxc6#
or
Ne7 g6 or g5
Bxc6+ Ke5
Bc3#

White to move and mate in three.

Edit, oops at first I posted a wrong position.

Any first move with the knight other than 1.Nc3, followed by 2.Bg6(xc6)+ and 3.Bc3# (or 2.Bc3+ and 3.Bxc6(g6)🙄. Perhaps, you should work a bit more on the position?

Try the fourth one;

White to play and Mate in 1.
Name all the ways he can get mate in 1.

kbaumen: Your puzzle is very cool. I do, however, think that like me, you need to check your positions to see if they are sound.
