Here is a selection of chess puzzles. You have to find the next move. They are all taken from games played by Rodney Barking. They are shown in chronological order. In all cases there is only one correct move: nothing else is any good.

I’m not going to publish the answers as that would spoil the fun for everyone else. Feel free to email me your suggested first moves and in return I will send you the solutions and analysis. rodneybarking@gmail.com
