The first position is lost for white whatever he plays, the second wins indeed in the way you described!

oui, les blancs perdent dans le premier et dans le deuxième, les bonnes réponse ne sont pas les meilleurs coups. D'où viennent ces positions?

Think about it a little more…

In the first position, black throws away the win with g3. Instead, f3 wins. This is a tablebase position, so the true result is known.

In the second position, there are multiple solutions again and again, starting at move 10. The puzzle should stop at move 9.

Thanks for the puzzles

I’m a total noob but I want to try and write #1 out… f pawn to f4 but if the king runs backward, I’d probably wanna just run away too.

These puzzles are very hard, not for beginners. Neither of them has a simple 1-move solution. Your f4 loses immediately.

One thing that you can (and should) do is to learn chess notation (how chess games are written down).

No, you are simply illiterate. Several posters here reported that the fist puzzle is wrong. You can use chess.coms onboard engine to verify for yourself that black wins. Peanuts for someone with your rating.

Or perhaps you were just talking trash?
