Could someone please repost myhand's puzzle? It is not visible for most, please repost it using the diagram generator I linked on the first page.

@myhand: Is this blind chess?

@szeweningen

It looks like a german FEN 5TK1/BB4BB/4B3/2t3d1/3S4/2D4T/b1b2bbb/5tk1 so i guess it should be this.
Black to move, and I suppose that blacks pawns move to the top. (instead of the bottom as indicated by the FEN)



Problem was:best move for black

shrug, take the queen.

and don't take the rook^^

... Rxf6
Rxf6 Qd4 (white lost knight, probably can get few pawns)
some variants:

Rf5? e6

Te1 Te8
Ne5xf7 ? (Te8xe1+) or Ne5-d7+ Qxd7 (and f7 saved)

Txf7 Qxe5
Txh7 Qf5 (Qxh2??)

(fixed)

I think taking rook is best, free rook > queen for rook.

1. ... bxa6 2. Nc6+ Ka8 3. Nxb4 Rxf6
2. Ne7+ Ka8 3. Qc6+ Qb7

Still, a weird puzzle...

(sry, i made an inversion with the chessboard in the post above.. will correct it)

better reaction for white on bxa6 (?):
1. ... bxa6
2. Qxa6 ...
3. Nd7+ (if Q on b6 -> Ka8 Nxb6+ ... Qxc8#) or Nc6+ (when Queen don't sacrifice himself with beating knight: Ka8 Qxc8+ Qb8 Nxb8 ... Ntoanywhere#)

You really need to improve your notation :)

1. bxa6
2. Qxa7 Qb7 and if Nd7+ or Nc6+ just Ka8, seems harmless.

Yes :-)

(Another fault by me, corrected: Qxa7 -> Qxa6)

Qb7 is a good answer.

Edited 5/4/2014 13:13:02

Consider
bxa6
Nc6+ Ka8
Qe5 Qd6
Qe3
and black has some problems at a7

Edited 5/5/2014 11:12:16

Revived:

White's move.

Knight to f7
King to g8
Rook takes queen at d8

Nf7+ would be followed by Nxf7

1. Nf7+ Nxf7
2. Rxd8+ Nxd8
3. Qf8#

Szewenigen wins again! I need to come up with a harder puzzle.

White to move, find the best move.

c5 followed by Bb3>Be6 and Ke4

then moving B back and forth should be draw

Correct :)

Hennes: You gotta keep em coming!

White's move:
