10 queen endgames rated between 1000 and 1199, averaging 1113. Each position below is from a real game, with the solution given underneath — so you can check yourself immediately rather than guessing whether you were right.
Queen endgames are decided by checks, perpetual threats, and who promotes first. Calculation matters more than structure, because a single check can flip the evaluation.
These are pitched at 1000-rated players. Puzzle ratings work like player ratings: a puzzle rated 1000 is one that players around 1000 solve about half the time, so if you are getting most of these you should move up a band.
Solving from a page is good for pattern recognition but not for tracking progress. The rated puzzle trainer serves puzzles matched to your own rating and adjusts as you solve, and the Mistake Trainer builds puzzles from positions you actually got wrong in your own games.
