Maybe you should try to click the link "Insert board from FEN" below the post box and paste your fen code there 🙄

For the first one your code above was:
3N4/Ppk2P2/1N6/K7/8/8/8/8

It should be:
3N4/Ppk2P2/1N6/K7/8/8/8/8 w - - 0 1

So I guess without that info in the end it doesn't work.


edit: had pawn on wrong square

It doesn't need them, just needs the [ fen ] and [ /fen] tags (without the spaces). The bits at the ends aren't necessary just for showing a position.

1.Bc7! (threatening Nxc4++)
1...Qxc7 2.Qxe6#
1...Nxc7 2.Qxg7#
1...b5 2.Nc6#

Added ++ to Nxc4 as # would show this: 🙄

1.Bc7 has no threat, because c4 is still guarded by Rb4.

Edits: I should know better than to solve right after I wake up.

The problem is the forum doesn't support more than one FEN position per post.
