Chess Puzzles #1

For each puzzle you must analyze the board and determine what move is the optimal move in that position. The yellow outline indicates what the opponents last move was and the color you are playing is always on the bottom of the board. Answers must be written in chess notation (ex. Nf3+)

Hello Minecraftyoshi,

I have an idea on how to do the Oregon Trail quiz which you wish to do. Currently I am drowning in work so I won't be able to work on it, however in the future I will be happy to do it. You decide on whose profile to upload it, but I can certainly provide the SVG map as well as the hints.

Regards,

Maxibon

Yeah I'd definitely be down for a colab quiz, whenever you have a chance to work on it just send me a colab request and I'll fill in as much as I possibly can. I'll probably make a group or something when you do so we can chat about it easier.

I have found a good pocket of time, so I can work on it whenever you wish.

Are you sure you don't want to upload it to your profile, it's your idea after all.

Honestly, it's a lot more likely to gain traction on your account since you are more of an established quiz maker and probably more people would see it then. I really don't care that much about getting the takes on my account I'd rather just see the quiz actually get played. Although I'd probably just want like a colab credit in the description or something

It may or may not be currently in the works with Astana helping me on SVGs.

Sorry to Maxibon I somehow completely forgot you had offered and have already accepted Astana's help
