I'll put various puzzles here, usually of my own invention or from one of my games.

  1. Puzzle #4

    Today's puzzle is the first one I made up completely myself. It's not very good in my opinion, but it was my first try. The previous ones were either directly from one of my games vs. the computer, or modified versions of those positions.

  2. Puzzle #3

    Today's puzzle is a little more difficult! Black has a huge material advantage and White's king is threatened. On the other hand, Black's pieces are poorly placed and his own king is also under threat.

    What is White's best move, and does it result in a win, draw or loss for White?
