Jul 25, 2020 at 15:10 comment added Joe W As a note please be careful when editing a question if that edit can invalidate existing answers. It isn't fair to the people who took time to answer the question only to have it invalidated by an edit.

May 17, 2020 at 14:43 comment added Joe W @Cohensius That is something for the person who wrote the question to decide. Not for someone else to come along and determine if that is what they meant. Considering this is a puzzle they designed themselves they may not realize there is no solution for black in this case.
May 17, 2020 at 13:48 comment added Cohensius @JoeW, the right question should be: white to checkmate. Not checkmate for black. (the Q is about a white move that will checkmate the black player)
May 16, 2020 at 20:40 comment added Joe W Please don't edit to remove the question asking for a checkmate for black.

May 13, 2020 at 15:56 comment added L. Scott Johnson @Philip, except that the title is changed to cement the error as "black to mate", as opposed to leaving it in its more readable-as-a-mistranslation form "find a checkmate for black". That seems to be an uncomfortable change to me.

Not suitable for this site
May 13, 2020 at 14:28 comment added L. Scott Johnson @PhilipKendall think the edit is incorrect. It's white to move and mate. The OP's "find a checkmate for black" is most likely a mistake in translating something that means "find a way to checkmate black".

Strip back to raw puzzle.
May 13, 2020 at 13:49 comment added GendoIkari @ZeissIkon I think this question is completely on-topic here, the fact that the asker is the creator of the puzzle doesn't matter, it's a puzzle with a specific answer. It would receive better answers over at Chess SE though.

May 13, 2020 at 12:18 comment added Zeiss Ikon I’m voting to close this question because this site doesn't handle this kind of question well. We need questions that are answerable, not "here's my stuff, isn't it cool!" -- even though it is cool.
