Find the Move

A puzzle from a real game and one move that decides it, sometimes two. Can you find it?

How it works

Every puzzle is a position from a real game. Your opponent has just moved, and now it's your turn. There is one move that decides it, and sometimes one more after your opponent's reply. Pick a puzzle, move the piece and see if you found it. If you get stuck you can ask for a hint, and the answer is below the board.

The puzzles are numbered, and each one says how hard it is. We know that from everyone who has already tried to solve it.
