I know you have solved loads but you don't need to make fun of me for my ability. I'm only 13.

Stop being so paranoid. All I said (rightly) was that your puzzle was easy.

Of course it's easy! I'm not Kasparov! (hysterically) *sob sob*

Got it I hope..
1. Re8! Qd1+
2. Kc7+ Qd8+
3. Rxd8#
or;
1. Re8! Qa4
2. Ke7+ Qxe8+
3. Kxe8
and now Black can only move their King a8-b8 continously and White promotes the h-pawn.
This means then he can play
h8=Q/R Ka8(or Kb8)
Ke7#
Nice puzzle but, like mine, needs to be harder!

Then can't you just push th h-pawn until you promote it, swop off or force the queen to move or take it and then win.

No. While moving the pawn, the queen will just walk along the 7th rank.if the pawn comes to h6, the queen can't stay there, of course. She must move to f7 to avoid Rf8 if the rook hasn't moved yet. White has a good situation here, if black doesn't make mistakes, white can't win. So 1.Re8 is incorrect.

Try this one... a bit end-gamey.


The question; what would you play as white in this puzzle?
