The never-ending chess puzzle...

1. Qg8 fxg8=Q
2. Kc5 Qc4+
3. Kd6 Nf7#

After Black's third move, replace the wQueenc4 by a white Rook, remove the Bishop and take the resulting position for a helpmate in two:

1. Bh3

1. ... Kd5 2. Be6+ Kd6 3. Nf5#
1. ... Ng6/Nf7 2. N(x)f7+ Kd5 3. Be6#

Now swap the Kings for a helpmate in two:



h#2

Kg7 Rg4+
Kf8 Rg8#

Remove black knight, move white knight to e6


Mate in 3
(delicate little control excersize)

Very Nice.

1.Be4 Kf7 2.Rc8 Kf6 3.Rf8 mate.

From final mate - King Knight hops to h5
and a BP appears on f5



Mate in 3

(I know my one's are simple but I them compose within
a minute of solving the original - I fear if I took longer
to come up with a cracker somebody else would solve it-
good thread this)

1. Bxf5 Kh4
2. Rg8 Kh5
3. Rh8#

From the position after 1. above, move R to f1, N to d4, black King to e8 and add a black Knight on g7.



Mate in 2.

First puzzle I've ever composed, so be nice! 🙂

1.Bd7+ Kd8 2.Nc6 mate

From final mating position swap Kings and add BP on d3



Mate in 3.

2 solutions and more if start to add under promotions
but composed in less than a minute.
(sloppy I know but I'm enjoying it)

1. Rf5 d2
2. Nd4 d1=B!
3. Nb5#

Move rook to b7, add black bishop on c5

seriesmate in 3

Also do try and do as few changes as possible 🙂 this isn't a criticism of anyone - I've been really impressed by all the composing ability that's been displayed so far, but remember that with twinning, the most beautiful twin is one that gives a completely different solution with the fewest possible changes.

Glad this is going well, I had feared it would just sink into nothingness!

1.Be6 2.Bd5 3.Rd7#

Welcome to any first time composers joining this thread!
It moves very fast, and we can expect some flaws, but a few pointers to encourage better problems (and avoid sloppy problems):

Let's try to avoid multiple keys, and checking keys in directmates (if possible)...

Remove the bP, then flip 180 degrees for helpmate in 2.


h#2

NOTE: neither change was needed, but if you see where I'm headed, better twins will be possible.

Ke4 rg6
kf5 bd3#

Bishop to e8

Another helpmate in 2

Another helpmate in 2

1...Kd3
2.Rc2 Be3
3. Bg6 mate.

from final mating postion remove Bishops add 1 Knight



Mate in 3

Edit: I knew it too slow I solved Doodinthemood's but was beaten
because I took a wee bit of time to compose.
So Ignore my one - see previous post - damn.

Ha ha - his was cooked - good - mines look's OK.
(egg of face for GP coming up....) :'(

1. Kf2 Ke4
2. Rd2 Kf4
3. Rd4#

Now replace the wNf3 by a White Bishop for a mate in six.
