Forced Win

A thorough look at the puzzle will tell you that the enemy is at the gates. Black just needs one move to checkmate white. But can White find a way to wrest the game away from Black. Talk about close encounters.

Lateral Thinking

Just when you think White is winning, there's a surprise. 90% of the folks will solve this on the second attempt with faux-paus induced sheepish grin. 

Chess brings out of lateral thinking in a person. The straight forward move isn't always the answer.

Endgame Study

A study of a position is nothing but stringing a series of puzzles together. Mostly the realm of chess composers, a study attempts to bring the best in logical reasoning in a person. In this puzzle, for instance, the bishop's only recourse after the rather obvious Nc7 is Bh1. Can u fathom why?
