  1. Ok Problem one is a classic one...

    1.g4 + Kh4 2.Bh6! THE KEY MOVE! ...Qxh6 3.Qh2+ Kg5 4.Qd2+ Nf4 (Otherwise the White Queen wins the Black Queen via the Skewer set up against the Black King.)5.Qd8 + +

    Now for the Attack of the Penquins Chess Puzzle!
    1.Kf6 Bg8 (1.Kf6 hxg3 2.fxg5+ + etc.,) 2.f5xg6 g5xf4 3.g5 + Kh5 4.g4 + +
    All roads lead to checkmate in this one! A nice problem to showcase the fields of force and pawn power in chess!

    I hope that you enjoyed them - Coach Sean.
