P.S. Regarding the "don't post chess puzzles on LMD" comment - I personally found this puzzle while explicitly searching for real chess puzzles or sudoku-chess mixes (lost in tons of anti-knight sudoku with the "chess" tag)

This puzzle is brilliant!
I didn't manage to solve it, so I had to turn on the engine to see the solution, but it's very clever :)

Thanks! I appreciate it.

Ok, dann nehme ich alles zurück.

Aber dann muss in den Regeln auch stehen, wie die Figuren ziehen, wie eine Partie abläuft und was schachmatt bedeutet.

@Nahileon: Imho it is not necessary to care about the comment from Dandelo. At the 20th November 2020 there was an general assembly of the Logic Masters Deutschland, in which it was decided, that there is not any restriction in publishing puzzles in the puzzle portal except of those restrictions which are written in the terms of usage (see https://logic-masters.de/nutzungsbedingungen.php?chlang=en).
You may read the above mentioned decision (in german language) under the post #119 from CHalb here: http://forum.logic-masters.de/showthread.php?tid=1843&pid=32784#pid32789.

Ok, I will not post any more chess puzzles. Could someone give me an idea of what kind of puzzles are preferred on this page, when it comes to non-Sudoku and what do people not want to see? I'm still trying to figure things out.

Nice and quite easy.

But I think there are many better places to publish (standard) chess problems. Even retro chess problems, which are much closer to our puzzles, should be published elsewhere. It's true, that there are a few chess-related puzzles here, but if we get (after the sudoku flood) a chess flood on top, this site couldn't deal with this.

I'm still a bit overwhelmed by the responses I got for my last puzzle, so I wanted to try something different today.
