I know you have solved loads but you don't need to make fun of me for my ability. I'm only 13.

Of course it's easy! I'm not Kasparov! (hysterically) *sob sob*

Here is a nice puzzle. White to play and win.

or;
1. Re8! Qa4
2. Ke7+ Qxe8+
3. Kxe8
and now Black can only move their King a8-b8 continously and White promotes the h-pawn.
This means then he can play
h8=Q/R Ka8(or Kb8)
Ke7#
Nice puzzle but, like mine, needs to be harder!

Then can't you just push th h-pawn until you promote it, swop off or force the queen to move or take it and then win.

Try this one... a bit end-gamey.

The question; what would you play as white in this puzzle?

What would you play as White?

Black to play. What will be the result? Very very very easy.
