Post your own-created chess puzzles here!

If you have composed a chess puzzle by yourself, post it here!

To get started, here is the first one: (I have many)

Cool puzzle, hope it's ok to talk about it here & that that doesn't constitute a spoiler..

I guess you have to retake with the f pawn rather than the d pawn because when black starts pushing their pawns down the cascade the white king is close enough on the king side but isn't close enough on the queen side to stop them

Yes, that’s right. Although, I must admit that it actually does count as a spoiler. Can you come up with some own?

Ok, I will post another one. Here is one that I composed today:

I just composed another puzzle featuring a similar idea, but this time, you need to play far more energetically!

That was a nice combination, @SuryaVS! Sadly, ...Rxb2 is refuted by Rd4!, when black's attack disappears and white comes out with a clear advantage.

On b1 the king is in check. Sadly, there seems to be no way to fix this puzzle. I tried to do it with the aid of the computer, but it was not entirely winning for black and they also had other, almost equally good options. I also want to share one rule of puzzle making (there is a reason that the name isn't "puzzle finding"!). The rule is

In a puzzle, the board should be as clean as possible.
This means that unnecessary pieces and pawns should not be on the board, if not for aestethic reasons. Other kinds of puzzles, where irrelevant pieces are on the board, are better for training, but those are easily provided by Chess.com and Lichess. Clean puzzles are much better for aestethics, and only aestethic puzzles are worthy for publication.

You could at least clean up the kingside.

I completed a puzzle this morning:

Really nice compositions! Definitely nice to see self-composition threads like this one.

I'll bite with two of mine. White to play and draw.

And for something a bit more clunky. White to move and win.

Cool

Thank you, @Graywing13! Now we are getting somewhere with this thread!

Creating and sharing your own chess puzzles is an excellent method to interact with the chess community and display your inventiveness. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned player, sharing puzzles can initiate thought-provoking conversations and test others. It is also a beneficial approach to enhance your skills by obtaining input and solving puzzles created by others.

I composed another puzzle two days ago. It's a nice reminder that winning material isn't nessecarily the end of the combination.
