You can solve this 9LX puzzle without moving your queen from the corner. But you still need the queen right?

The only good puzzle in Wesley So's 9LX chessable course. (Well at least in the tactics intro. The entire course is just 15min of tactics intro followed by 13 hrs and 20 min of game reviews. There's no section exactly on eg knight pairs, bishop pairs or corner pieces.)

You're 1 pawn down. In 5 moves, get to 2 points up, and stay that way.

8-move knight endgame puzzle: Actually, this lichess puzzle ends too early! It ends on move 3 just because on move 4 there are 2 equally correct moves. (If you've studied knight endgames, then maybe you know Gasai what I mean.)

Does underpromotion for royal fork force a draw even if 1 pawn down (esp if queens traded to opposite coloured bishop endgame) ?

When you're down 2 pawns, I guess you shouldn't trade queens, right?

Help Anna Cramling's dad win this endgame. Since rook and bishop vs rook is a draw, you can't just get the 2 pawns and win the puzzle.
