It wasn't really easy if you ask me. And if you look at the percent solved, it is only 44%.

It wasn't hard - but it sure was sneaky

Composed problems just require a slightly different mindset. In the world of composed mate-in-twos this indeed is a relatively easy task, however in practice this problem can be perceived as a tough exercise. It's all quite relative...

Excelente.

Es uno de los pocos que no comienzan con jaque al rey. Ese fue mi error al intentar resolverlo.

It is one of the few problems that do not begin with a check. That was my mistake when I tried to solve it.

Easy but pleasing. Certainly not stupid.

Nice one

I like puzzles like this. I almost preferred this to the "mate in 29" from yesterday.

When Black just has a couple of moves, imagine how the position will look and find a mating position. Then get there!

Took me a little while. I like the fact that it's not solvable by just checking endlessly
