Good one

This is the best puzzle I've played for a long time, made me think and make a few wrong moves!

C´mon chessikins

What you gonna complain about today?
Not another end game study, this isn´t a puzzle, too easy for me, hopefully I have covered them all for you so you don´t have to bother!

It would be interesting to know how the black king got to that position. With the king so exposed and so powerful pieces on the board it's easy to figure out the end result.

That's what is called a 'mating net'. Guess why?

Yes, I know. It was just a comment

Curiously, white pieces didn't take the same way used here to finish the game. Maybe Tischbierek had time problems and took the easiest path to win by resignation.

Good excersise.

Of course it is easy if you are very skilled, sidthekid. But for a lot of people it is nice, and remember than in chess, unless you are on the top 50 of the world, as in most things in life, you are spending so much time to solve very easy excercises. Maybe they are humilliating you...

Damalfi, come here often?

If yes you would know that I have a problem with good players (1500+ for me) and come here and say it is too easy or it is not a puzzle etc. My comment was sarcasm, it may not get chessikins respect but he has been asked nicely by a number of people on a number of occasions to not be so negative on the easy puzzle page as lowly players,like me, may find them good puzzles or even good instruction.

Ups! Now I got it. No, I don't buzzle around very much on puzzles...
The rather primitive method of "starring" a puzzle it is supposed to be a way to make someone see the puzzles of the wanted level only.
It is better managed at ChessTempo, a very serious site about tactics (not "problems").
It is almost always useless to say "too easy", since the one that makes you think hard would be "too easy" for others. I cannot understand why people is so nasty, sometimes, but you have to assume that people of all humors and all culture, age, etc. solve puzzles, and I won't bother them except I want to forget my work for a moment...
