The player in Black should have planned protection for the queen before exposing her that far away in enemy territory.mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: DisharmonyThis puzzle is somewhat short but it was probably one of the puzzles that took me more time to solve, especially because I had no idea what to accomplish... But turns out it's already forced…mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: A world to rememberThe answer is as follows, but I still think there was a way to trade Queens or at least keep the white Queen while trading pieces, what do you think?mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Submarine voyageI had absolutely no idea how I came with the solution at the first try but, winning a knight with this series of moves was delightful:mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: IntrusionThis is probably the weirdest puzzle I've solved (with help and hints) and I still don't understand what I'm trying to achieve here, I traded a rook and then what?mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: DecongestantPretty complex puzzle with which I struggled, mainly because it meant sacrificing both rooks to open a path for the Queen to deliver a checkmate after five moves, incredibly hard to spot it.mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Light LunchI don't know if I am already sleepy or what but, I had to try like ten different moves before I hit the correct one, after that it was all easy for me but in a game I would have never seen this…eniolw (65)in chess • 3 years agoRE: A relative pinYes, and it would be great to contrast it with the absolute pin too :) Unfortunately the chess community on Steem isn't as active as far as I've noticed :(eniolw (65)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Bird's opening vs Saumya241104 (820)Cool!

Did you play it online?mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: CannonballI struggled to find the correct move, not because I didn't see it but because I hadn't realize his Queen was trapped with no escape whatsoever once I set a rook on f5.mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: A pawn in jeopardyTrading bishops forces his king to get the pawn and earns us position to take most if not all of his pawns, great moves to be honest.mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Deceptive DiscoveryI mean, I got the puzzle right but, I still don't get it. I traded a bishop and a rook for my Queen and yeah, once you're up in piece advantage you should trade piece so your opponent has less…mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Tactics and timingmattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Roll callOne thing I love about chess is that sometimes we can delay imminent moves or takes while we put the opponent's king in check and gain additional board position, which this puzzle is meant to teach…mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: So closeYou see this puzzle is mastery at it's best: You sacrifice a pawn, a knight and a rook in exchange of a bishop but you gain the best position ever: You take down your opponent's only crownable pawn…mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Do I need to react?This puzzle is rather stupid because the moves are counterintuitive, there's no way black would behave like that, let alone let himself be caught in a situation like the one depicted here but, what…mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Light Square shuffleThat's mate in 3 right there and I didn't even see it after I solved the puzzle, I was like well, and what does this achieve?
