First puzzle of today is valid. In your second puzzle of today, what if 2...Rg5 ? The solution is invalid.

On the third puzzle, there is a dual, since 2.Nxg8# also works. You can fix this by adding a black piece defending either square.

Which knight takes g8? None of them can reach that square

btw I fixed the other puzzle

Here is what I mean. In this position (trying not to spoil the answer too much), capturing the rook with the knight leads to checkmate too, so there is a dual.

Out of your puzzles posted today, I think the last one is my favourite and the most fun. Keep it up!

I like that one too. I tried to do something similar in a tournament game, but I accidentally left one escape square. I went on to lose.
