Antipalaldin:  We don't need a program, we can play chess online on different sites. I know one, but it's hungarian...

Razor: You're doing well, keep trying

EDIT: I've found a site to play chess on: gameknot.com It's free to register.

I will try to solve this...
But I have a little question about the chess-playing online:
I must register in that sites to play chess online with another?
and that site you mentioned above is unique with this online chess playing,or are more other sites like that?

I'm glad to hear that.

Remember that it's a helpmate, so black will help you, you can make any move with both players.

HINT: In helpmate problems, the main thing to do is to notice the mate position. After that, the correct sequence of moves are not difficult to find.

Guys, what is this passivity? Is the helpmate so difficult? I can give you easier puzzles as well...

It's difficult, unfortunately I couldn't find a mate... but I'll give it another try now and see if I'm successful

EDIT: ok, gave another try, still didn't work, but at least I'll share it here (maybe it was close?!?)

f5-f6
d4-e4
h7-f7
f4-e5+

Now I thought this is mate but black can escape with f6-e6 unfortunately

Your first move is correct! f5-f6.

After this move, white needs a spectacular move. He must mate black's king in the corner, so we know black's remaining two moves. But to move to the corner, the rook must be covered so that it allows black to occupy the last rank. How does white achieve this?

Yayy! We got the solution!

Excellent thinking Ash! I think helpmate is quite a good brain strecher.
Will post another soon. Prepare yourselves, 'cuz after a week of passivity, I'm back
