Note: in spite of what I had previously said to Matty regarding the board being always White oriented in this case we have BLACK ORIENTED boards.

Solution to C (Maybe ;) ) [spoiler]Queen H3 to E3 White King has to move to E1 Knight D4 to F3 Checkmate[/spoiler]

It is ,well done emjay ,let see can you find solution for D ,first problem is more exercise than real problem :)

second problem is forced: [spoiler=Spoiler added by Matty]1.e4 - f:e4 2.d:e4 - K:e4 3.Qf5#[/spoiler] this is perfect notation bishop ;)

Yep Mjd (Y) Nope sorry Moma [spoiler][size=14][b]:[/b][/size] or [size=14][b]x[/b][/size] are equivalent symbols but I prefer the second, your sequence is good but you forgot a detail: you had to cover it with a spoiler!! By the way nice job man, I knew you would have solved it easy.[/spoiler]

Got this one really quick.[spoiler=C]Qe3+ White Ka1 Nf3#[/spoiler] I see moma's solution for D so no point in doing that one.

[spoiler=Solution to D] e4 I dont know how to write spawn from f3 to e4 d5 to e4 Ke4 Qf5# [/spoiler]

To Aeronautic [spoiler]yes right![/spoiler] To Stratosphere [spoiler]yes right! you should write fxe4 (or f:e4 if you prefer) and the moves should stay coupled and possibly also numbered being a sequence: 1. e4 fxe4 2. dxe4 Kxe4 3. Qf5#[/spoiler]

C [spoiler]Qe3[/spoiler]
