On this page there are several combination tasks, mostly from Catalan league.
I solved all very quickly except No 2.
Try them.
And here on this page, just after some adorable nipples, you have easy tactical task from one Sveshnikov's game:
White to move and win.
Joined 12 Jul '08 Moves 13814 It must be very easy to you if I can figure it out after looking at four or five fruitless options. Once I noticed the knight on d7 things became clear.

Double Check is the strongest check you give. And there are two ways to double check but only one of them is mate.

Joined 12 Jul '08 Moves 13814 It is a checkmate in 3 is it not? The one I see is in 3 anyhow.

Is this the correct way to describe the move? Letters and numbers? I thought I had a basic understanding of algebraic notation, so this is bugging me.
Shouldn't the move be Qg7?

Qg7+ Thanks.
Hey sonhouse, how did you miss that? C'mon man, get with the program.
Joined 06 Jun '12 Moves 3426 Hampstead was using english descriptive notation, but didn't capitalize the knight file designation (N). This was the standard in English speaking countries until the late 1970's.
English Descriptive Notation:
1. Q-N7 ch KxQ
2. N-B5 dbl ch K-N1
3. N-R6 mate
Algebraic Notation:
1. Qg7+ Kxg7
2. Nf5+ Kg8
3. Nh6# 1-0
Joined 12 Jul '08 Moves 13814 I didn't think anyone other than Spock on rerun used descriptive anymore.
