Snow Day Chess: Part 3

This position came up in a 5 minute game I played today. I missed the winning combination. Black to move and win.

 

Snow Day Chess: Part 2

In this position I was black and had worked my opponent into a corner. At this point I I had mate in 4. I played the first 2 moves right, and then botched the mate in 2 and lost in the end.

 

Snow Day Chess

Since my school had a snow today, I had the day off and decided to get in some chess games this morning. This position came up in a 5 minute game, where I was black. It is black to move and mate in 4.

 

I missed the mate in 4, and instead found mate in 5.
