David Zimbeck is amazing -
each mate is a comedic work of art like the Joker-
earlier I compared him to
Mr Mzyzptlk in Superman

his puzzles include

mate in 256

a mate where White gives up a full set of pieces
and mates with his last pawn

a mate with 5 consecutive bishop underpromotions,
a world record.

A super rook mate where a rook chases a King all over the board.

A mate with 8 discovered checks in a row

a mate where White makes every possible promotion

a mate with 8 Queen promotions

a position where two knights win against a full army minus
a bishop- almost like a James Bond-Clint Eastwood-Jackie Chan movie
