Some of these might have been posted before on CCC because I often steal positions from here. I'm just writing the solutions from my head here, and also, I don't know if the given solution is the only best move. [d]3rk2r/p4pRp/4p3/q1pPn3/1pP5/4p2B/PQ2KP1P/2R5 b k - bm Rxd5; [d]2rNk3/1Q1Rp1r1/1p5p/p1q1p1p1/P1P2n2/1P6/1K5P/3R4 w - - bm Qe4; [d]8/5p1k/7p/1p2Q3/8/5PP1/7P/1q4NK w - - bm Qe4+; This one is easy for humans but needs some sort of knowledge that makes a program want to exchange queens. [d]br3rk1/3p2pp/1p1Pp2n/5pNQ/2q2P2/3R3P/1B4PK/5R2 w - - bm Nxh7; I think this position is a few moves after a position posted by Vincent Diepeveen. [d]8/5k2/3r1r2/8/6p1/PP4Pp/8/4Q2K b - - bm Rf3; [d]r2r2k1/ppq1bpp1/2bppn1p/6B1/3NPP1P/2N5/PPPQ2P1/1K1RR3 b - - am hxg5; [d]r3r1k1/1bbn1pp1/pqp2n1p/1pN2N2/3P1P2/3B4/PPQB2PP/4RRK1 w - - bm Rxe8; [d]5k2/pb4pp/1pn5/r7/2PpP1n1/PP3NPq/3Q1P1P/3RR1K1 b - - bm Rf5; This one isn't that hard, but it's a nice move anyway.
