    Earlier this week I bet my stream I could beat my personal record number of chess puzzles completed. It definitely came down to the wire...but did I succeed? Check it out!

      Buy a whole new door and install a cat door in that one. Old door for landlord when you move out. New door for you and the cats. Just a bit of labor, kappa.

    10:10 Ne2+ with the fork
    11:09 Rf8 with the unstoppable Rf5#
    21:01 g6-g7 if then Rg8 you play h7 promoting on the next move
    [EDIT: This puzzle is actually wrong as Black has a way to draw this game, which a comment below mentions. Both Kg6 and g6 will lead to a draw!]
    27:56 Qxf6 if Bc3 you have Ne5, if then Qd4 you have d6
    32:25 Rh7+ if Kf8 you have Qxf7#, if Kxh7 you have Qh4-Qh6#
    12:07 A new tab opens when you look up a specific puzzle. So just switch the tab to get back to your recent puzzle rush. I think it's necessary to see the solutions or try the puzzles you got wrong again for educational and satisfactional reasons.

      Yeah. But puzzle 20 and 26 sucked. Puzzle 20: g6 Kf5 g7 Ra8 h7 Ra1 Kh4 Kf4 Kh3 Kf3 Kh2 Ra2+ Kh3 Ra1 etc. is a draw. So g6 was the best winning attempt, but still a draw as Kg6. In puzzle 26: Rf6: looses an exchange. White should not reply with Rf6:?? but instead play Bc3 as he feared. Then after Qe3:+ Qe2 Qe2:+ Ke2: black loses R on f6.... It is a hard puzzle. If d5 to catch Nf6, then Nd5:. To me d6 ot Nd4 seem the best options for black and not hoping for Rf6:? Rf6:??? They should've started the puzzle at a move later.

      @@schmetterlingsjaeger Yeah you're right, the 2 pawn vs rook endgame is drawn. Kg6 and g6 both will result in the same.
      I agree that Bc3 should be played in the other puzzle, but Black has a way getting out ahead: After the line you mentioned 1...Rf6 2. Bc3 Qxe3+ 3. Qe2 you follow it up with 3...Qxc3+! 4.bxc3 Re6!. The endgame should be winning for black, having 2 pieces for the rook.
