How come when we solve these puzzles why do they make us put a bishop or any othr piece so far away when most of them can be more simply solved ? Most puzzles can be solved alot easier than they are it seems to make things more complicated or have a longer processing process.

I didn't find move 1 very obvious, the second move was though.

@giladro

by the way: the cpu finds all mate in 1s automatically, there is never ever gonna be a way that a puzzle on GK is mate in 1

It's not too hard, but honestly, it's pretty damn good for a composition by a fellow GK member and not one of those classic compositioners. Congrats fkohn for contributing to this wonderful section.
