The last checkmate was a bit arbitrary, maybe change that?

Post 25

White Kd5, Pe5, Pe6

Black Pd6, Pd7, Ke8

The given solution: 1. exd7+ Kxd7 2. exd6 Kd8, 3 Ke6 Kc8 misses that 3 ... Ke8 is a draw.

On the other hand 1. exd6 dxe7 (otherwise White plays e7 and maneuvers the King to with the d7 pawn) 2. Kxe6 Kd8 (after 2... Kf8 3 d7 queens) 3. d7 Kc7 (only move) 4. Ke7 allows queening on d8.

If the Black king started on d8 instead of e8 then 1. exd6 dxe6 2. Kxe6 Ke8 draws

and 1 Kxd6 Kd8 (not 1 .. dxe6 2. Kxe6 Ke8 3 Kd6 Kd8 4 e6 Ke8 5 e7 Kf7 6 Kd7)

2 e7+ Ke8 3 e6 dxe6 4 Kxe6 is stalemate

Oh ok, I think this is what should have happened.

 

For post 31 there is no need for Black to play an early e2.  Instead look at 

1 h3 g4 2 fxg4 (2 hxg4 h3 makes it impossible for White to stop both pawns) 2... f3 and White's king has to stay on d1, e1, f1 or g1 to hold back the e3/f3 pawns.  That means White cannot triangulate and eventually Black can play Kf4 with White's king on a white square (assume f1 since the win is easy if it is on d1).  The it goes  A) Kg1 f2+ B) Kf1 Kf3 C) g5 e2#.  If White had earlier gotten rid of the g-pawn then Black simply takes the h3 pawn, plays to Kg3 and then plays e2 (if White plays Ke1 then h2 wins, if Kg1 then e1=Q#, anything else then Kf2 and the pawn queens).

It is completely bad. After dxe3 dxe3, Ke1, you don't have to take on e2, d2+ and black is winning. Please check your puzzles before posting them

This Puzzle I know. In this you need to move your rook 1 time and when the rook moves then it must be a checkmate .
