3/16/2024 – In the diagram position Black just offered to exchange bishops with 22...Ba3. Should White go for it or not? I'm looking forward to your continuation!
3/9/2024 – A closed Ruy Lopez, the board full to the brim: you might expect a long game, but after Black played 21...Kf7?? in the diagram position Black was suddenly busted. Have fun - with White!
3/2/2024 – In the diagram position the double attack 38.Qg4! leads to a win for White, since the counterattack 38...Qe3 runs into ... but you can show that yourself in a moment!
2/24/2024 – In the diagram position, the white king will soon bite the queenside dust - somehow no wonder with the Bf5 controlling the b1-square. What would you do with Black?

1/20/2024 – Yes, in the diagram position you may strike with White, but please try to calculate the winning variation as far as possible beforehand. A ten-mover, if you will - have fun!
1/13/2024 – Supported by his giant bishop on b6, Black became active in the diagram position - and was surprisingly quickly rewarded, as the game lasted only three more moves. Are you able to find them all?
1/6/2024 – You might see how White could have won outright in the diagram position in the blink of an eye. Black's path to a draw a few moves later, on the other hand, might be a real challenge. Either way - have fun!
12/30/2023 – In the diagram position White wins with 51.Qc8! - but please don't make the move until you've seen the forced checkmate after 51...Qd4. Do we have a deal?
12/23/2023 – In view of his hanging rook on c6 Black needs a good idea in the diagram position - or should I say the right gift idea? Feel free to be generous!
12/16/2023 – In the diagram position White just opened the long diagonal for the bishop with 25.Ne4. Can Black now capture on d5 - and how should she capture on d5?
12/2/2023 – Today some elementary endgame tactics. In the diagram position, the constellation on the kingside with the far advanced pawn h3 secures Black's advantage. But how to exploit this?
