This week it's Mate in 2 puzzles! If you can't get some of these don't feel bad, just remember the world champion missed a Mate in 1 this week! Thanks to Richard James and his awesome site ChessKIDS.com for providing the positions for this week's quiz.

If the White pieces are at the bottom of the diagram (a1 square in bottom left-hand corner) it's White's move. If the Black pieces are at the bottom of the diagram (h8 square in bottom left-hand corner) it's Black's move. Solutions are at the end of the quiz. Let us know how you do! Good Luck!
