Chess puzzles regularly here

OOOps I just looked at it again. I apologise for both my earlier posts.

Lets just pretend I never said anything 😳

ok.. This is a bit diffrent... (and maybe not that difficult)
W: Ka1 b6 d2
B: Ka3 b3 d3 a6
Black to play..
White pawn is unstoppable, but can you show the white win?

Since nobody else is trying, here is my attempt:

1. ... b3+
The first two moves by black are interchangable. Black's kingdoes not move because the white king would immediately come to b2.

2.Kb1 a5
3.b7 a4
4.b8N!
promotion to q ...[text shortened]... 9.Ka2, 10.Nb1 and 11.Nxa3 wand later on also the other two pawns.

Okay...here's an interesting problem:
White: Kg2, Qe8, Rf2, Rh2, Nc5, Nf5, Bc4, Bg3.
Black: Kc2, Qg4, Rb2, Rd2, Nd5, Ng5, Bc3, Be6, e7
White moves and mates in 5, or Black moves and mates in 5.

Try this on for size! ^_____^;;;

(2.Kg1 or 2.Kh1 then Rb1+)

2. ... Kb1+ 3.Kg1
(3.Be2 Qxe2+ 4.Kg1 Nf3+ 5.Kh1 Qf1🙄
(3.Kf1 Qd1+ 4.Be1 Qxe1🙄

3. ... Qd1+ 4.Bf1
(4.Be1 Nf3+ 5.Kh1 (5.Kf1 Qe1🙄 Rxh2#

4. ... Nf3+ 5.Kh1 Qf1#.

This is an interesting one, white to mate in 11 moves.


White= kd8 and pawns at b5 and h2
Black= ka7 and pawns at a6 and b7

It can be done, black would not take the pawn, look deeper into the position. If black took back it would just allow white to get a fast queen and win the game. 1.b6+ then what?

Ok if black takes back mate in 12 1.b6 kxb6 2.h4 a5 3.h5 kb5 4.kc7 a4 5.kxb7 kb4 6. H6 a3 7.h7 kb3 8. h8=Q a2 9.kb6 ka3 10.Qc3 ka4 11. kc5 (black has no other move but to promote) a1=Q 12.Qb4#. Try another move for black.

Yes that's the next move! Black has a possible draw with kb8 if white slips up, but after kb8 there is mate in 11. 1.b6 kb8 then what?
