A mixture of stuff and ideas I had laying about for future blogs.
I’m having a clear out before the World Championship Match.
The usual three puzzles.
Black to play. What would you do?
White to play and checkmate in four moves.
This next one has a rather amusing back story.
Mate in two. The first move in these composed problems is never a check.
A made up game by Jonathan Mestel which appeared in a book.
I found an RHP game with the same fairly unique mating pattern.
Turns out this game is quite good and instructive so I noted it up.

For some insane reason I thought black was going up the board in puzzle 2 and the Knight would be taken on f4!
I've been looking at puzzles on liChess and they keep giving me puzzles for black, so I think that was it.
Fun puzzles š
