I don't know if this qualifies as a puzzle. But White does have a move that is pretty crushing and makes the position far better for White.

>!Spoiler: White does not have a checkmate and does not win material. !<

This position was from my 4th game in the AlphaChess U1800 Rosewood competition. After a well worked position, I ended the game with this dazzling combination leading to a satisfying checkmate - This submission also won me the tournament's brilliancy prize.

This one’s not too bad. There’s a couple tricky tries. White to play up the board and mate on the second move.

i don’t know chess like that please help me

White to play up the board and mating on the second move. The key is not a check or a capture so don’t even try these moves. Very difficult.
