Puzzles February 2025 Part 2

I don't recall signing up for this specific thing - puzzles. I don't see myself ever posting here so 'follow' is not checked. How do I get out?

I don't get the last move, won't white just take the black queen?
If they take the queen and black puts Nf3 it's checkmate.
So black looses a Rook and wins a Queen.

You can set the settings in the club to not receive notifications from the forum and therefore not from the puzzles. But then you will not receive any notification from the forum. Why not just try to solve the puzzles? Everyone is free from this. It is certainly not an obligation or anything.

No thanks.
I am perfectly happy to receive notifications from the forum, which I want...but one should not automatically have to get 'puzzle' notifications. That's...just wrong to force those on people. I get WAY too many notifications as is...like people posting: '.' or such...and I have to go see if it's a legitimate comment or some kid just trying to score 'posting points'. Really is a bother. I report them for spamming...but it's way too many.

Than I can't help you, sorry. Then you can only ignore the notifications of the puzzles.
It's a service we do for ppl who want to solve these.

Then...it should be 'for people who want to solve' them...not everyone. Perhaps a new forum specially for that?

There is only one forum inside the club. So it is like it is. Anyone who don't want to solve them ignore it.
Puzzle time!
GL on solving!
