shameless plug

If you enjoyed this one, please have a look at 38 unsolved problems I posted in 2012 here:
gameknot.com
Not all of them are all that difficult, some have only been tried twice which accounts for their current status. I hope all of them get solved at least once before the end of the year.

Thank you, I should add that they all seem to have some nice variations somewhere, so it should be exciting enough even if you solve them with over 5 mistakes

Oh yes they should be quite solvable indeed if you invest some minutes per problem

I got it down to four not including the ones just posted, I only failed four of them.

Three left, this is going faster than I had expected (and of course much faster than in previous months where nobody even tried them)

Ah it looks much better this way. As this promotion attempt seemed to be successful you're always welcome to work away the list from the bottom: gameknot.com

Of course it is all relative as blitzkov, for example, has posted over eight full pages of hitherto unsolved problems, here: gameknot.com

kingdawar,

How did you get all my Problems on 1 page?
I mean, they were a completely different time-frame? And in different order?
