Realism

This puzzle would have been far better if black had a more realistic array of pieces.

good puzzle for use of knights.

So often the younger plays in our club don't see the knight mates. Exercises like this are greatly appreciated.

Must be hallucinating, black seems to have 14 pawns...

Hmmm..

Was looking forward to a fun fantasy puzzle and was let down by simplistic design...so much detail not required...easy to espy the solution...even listed as easy this is too soon discovered..nup..

Improvements to GK's puzzle editor!

In attempting to modify this puzzle, I found GameKnots editor no longer allows more than eight pawns. See

puzzle #76600 Additional pieces are possible, however, even though eight pawns remain on the board. May be a bit more of a challenge for our programmers. I applaud their efforts.
