I had to use the computer.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

It may have helped me that I had to solve the white side of this position 1st. Having solved the white win made solving the black side easier. :wink:

I found this one very difficult to solve. In fact I did not solve it in enough attempts and the app showed me a hint. Then it was easy. :?

Bd6 wins material, but I'll be darned if I can find a checkmate resulting from it.

Must be some other move is best.

You got it right, that was not a checkmate problem. :lol: Sorry I forgot to mention that. :oops:
