Nice! Especially after tons of imbecilic puzzles we see in Easy Puzzle section

indeed...this is good one...
However i accept the other kinds because they are not chess problems but simply puzzles, sometimes they are very bad.

An interesting one, huzzah!

I'm sure somebody will find something to complain about though : )

^same tought... it will accept it as a mate but Kf2 isn't listed as part of the sollution... kinda odd

great puzzle tough... had to make a wrong move to figure out I had to prevent a stalemate

Nice

I like the bit of irony where black's bishop has been trapped by it's own pawn in the corner. This is probably the first puzzle I've seen where white must move out of check on the first move.

Amusing. I was thinking about 1.exd7 (en passant) Ka7 2.d8Q# or 2.d8R#, but couldn't prove that the pawn had advanced two squares.

[NOTE: the above is a joke. Please don't take it seriously. In fact, you are wise never to take anything I say seriously. Especially the previous sentence.]
