Voila! Took me 5 minutes. Make them harder Susan!
Goes nicely with the theme of the last one….
My first intuition appears correct. 1Nf6 Rf6 2Qd7 then
A)2…Kc4 3Qd3 Kc5 4Qd4#
B)2…Kc5 3Qd4#
C)2…Rd6 3Qf5 Kc4 4Qc2 Kb3 5Qb3 wins
D)2…Ke5 3Qd4 Kf5 (3…Ke6 4Qc4 wins) 4Qe4 Kg5 5Qg2 wins

I wonder which book or collection these are from: could we have an acknowledgement of sources please.
I dont understand where the answers of these puzzles were writen. Administer please answer this… Who wrotes the truth?
