Oh I have many composed, nearly 100 in fact, which would you prefer endgame studies or mate studies?

This is a study of a puzzle which I had in a game against an IM, on the losing side of course. White to move, wins a knight

Wow, thanks for the replies!

@Ben2006Tor
This is huge load of work! I will have to take some time to look through all of these.
Concerning your composition: this looks very much like you took inspiration from the Mitrofanov study, which is one of my favourites. Cannot begin to grasp the depth of yours, though :D

@Sarg0n
This is very neat little composition! Very much like mine I think, at least in spirit. I like yours much better :)

@Dario19503
Not that hard for the absence of too many possible moves, but nice nonetheless. For the sake of minimalism, I think you could leave out the pawns c3 and c4, or am I mistaken?

@Wittke Indeed, I could've removed the c3 and c4 pawns. I didn't think much about minimalism there.

@Sarg0n nice complex mate in 2, very intersting!
@Dario19503 very intersting idea power of bishop!
@pn2206 nice cute fork!
@Wittke I did take insparation from Mitrofanov's deflection you are right, but the solution is totally unique and has two nice deflective moves, the one on the 2nd move espically is out of the world! I have another two parts to my chess puzzles, and also a mate study, if you want to see more of my puzzles, I can give the link.

Im not so much into studies (maybe that is a defect) but i have created two studies about fortresses. Both are variations of already known studies. I forgot which these were.
