    @ xunfeng : The old way of doing this was to always look at the board from whites perspective. So in the past you had to solve the blacks way to mate his opponent from whites perspective. After the introduction of computers, chess engines, flip board options and several javabased pgn viewers it is now common to give the positions from the perspective of the player who is about to move. I like that. In most situations the perspective is logic. The reason for always putting on these coordinates anyway, is just to make absolutely sure what way to look at it. I personally like it when they are present.

    @airbus. Thanks for your advice . If progress allow i will...now i tell you how to look side. If white's move , it means down side is white's board. Opposite the black....

    Nice work, sir. Keep 'em coming. A little tip : Could you mark the "show coordinates" option, to show the a-h and 1-8 marks, making absolutely no misunderstanding possible on which side of the board you are viewing from?

    Matt is right! 1...Ng6+ 2. Kf7, Kg8, or hxg6 loses to Qxg7#

    ______________________________________

    First off, it's 1... Nb3+, you're looking at the wrong side of the board if it's "g-file".

    It's a lot to see in a puzzle. It appears that 2. Kc2 works well for white. Here's my analysis w/o a program:

    matt57- I think #7 is a great puzzle telling us to calculate our situation before we do something like that. I too tried for Nb3+ (Ng6+, the board is upside down), but after looking at it closer white's King is safe after Kc2, and it is actually black's King that isn't looking so sharp if the Queen moves with something like Qxb2+. Not only is white ahead in material but with the dangerous rooks on the d and e-files and white also has the threats against the f7 pawn (in front of the King). Best case scenario I think black can even the (piece) material but with a much less active position.

    But instead after dxe4, black then has the threat of Nb3+ with an open d-file, and even material.
