You can make a move by clicking on a piece and dropping it at the target square.

    The puzzle changes each time you visit this page and some of the puzzles are rather easy

    Maybe I’ll have to add more difficult puzzles or you can try the mate in three puzzles

  3. For the “Mate In Two” puzzle posted May 18, 2007, I found – 1. Nf5#, mate in ONE

    It is difficult for me to check, because the puzzle changes all the time. I’ll try to check all the puzzles by means of computer program, but I thought that I had done this before I posted this set.

  5. The format of the pages has changed today and there is now a screen operation error. The piece I choose to move is not displayed in the correct location. When I click on a peiece it appears low left about 3/4 of the distance of the chessboard so I cannot drop it in the right location.

    I am and have been using a relatively new Gateway computer.

    Thanks for the website.

    Thank you for mentioning this problem. It seems that this occurs in Internet Explorer.
    I will try to solve this problem asap.

  7. I think that the problem has been solved

  8. I found some of these puzzles realy hard to solve because of diferent ways to mate. Mine weren´t always the same as the program. But great exercise!!!!!

  9. I’ll try to check them all.
    I thought I had done this before, but some days ago I have noticed a similar problem.

    Thanks for letting me know.

  10. B X N is also correct

  11. Can you add a permanent link to each puzzle?

    Great Website, Thanks.

    A great idea and it will be possible after I have rewritten the code that displays the diagrams.

  13. Hi Chess Teacher! Could u please show me the code to post a puzzle on the blogspot using this viewer? I find it very interesting.I really look forward your reply very soon.Thx.

    I am using WordPress and some php plugins to publish this puzzle, but these can’t be used on blogspot. The blogspot blog Chess Publishing seems to have solved this problem and has published some posts about this.
