Can checkmate in one move be so difficult?

Puzzle
Very often, tasks are tricky, but simple once you understand what they involve.

Examples of types of tricky tasks

  • Tasks with a piece that seems to mean nothing, but gives the opportunity to checkmate the opponent.
  • Tasks in which, as part of the promotion, you have to turn your pawn into a piece other than the strongest one.
  • Tasks in which you checkmate with a pawn or a light piece

If you know the reasons for frequently thinking about tasks, it will be easier to solve them

Most often, it's not just about being sneaky. You just need to understand what it is to be able to solve even the most difficult tasks.

Haven't you ever wondered "how is it possible that I don't see the solution to such a simple task"? I hope that I have helped you to solve interesting, confusing and difficult tasks more easily.
