10/5/2024 – 16...h4 (diagram position) didn't actually threaten anything concrete -
but after White's game move, Black suddenly had mate in 3! Can you
imagine how that happened?
9/21/2024 – In the diagram position, Black launched an irresistible wave of attack with 22...d3! - though he rather launched two waves of attack to be precise - enjoy surfing!
9/14/2024 – In the diagram position White had just played 25.Bh4! in order to plant his knight in the black king's position after 25...g5 26.Nf6+. What happens next ... is entirely up to you!
8/31/2024 – In the diagram position 23.Nf6+! is the first move to blow out the black king's life-light - you are welcome to contribute the other three yourself!
8/10/2024 – In the diagram position it was Black to move and he played 25...Rc4!, which creates a powerful threat. However, curiously, in the game Black took his time before he executed the threat. Enjoy and relax!
8/3/2024 – White just played 15.Rf3!?, an exchange sacrifice that Magnus Carlsen and other other have tried with success. After 15...Nxf3 16.gxf3 you can really let off steam with White - have fun!
7/27/2024 – In the diagram position Black's three heavy pieces are positioned around the Kg3, but he doesn't yet have a win. However, after the game continuation 56...Rh7 57.Qf5?? he has - can you spot the difference?
7/20/2024 – The diagram position shows a typical picture from the 6.Bg5-Najdorf: White has pinned the black king in the center, sacrificed a piece and after 14...h5 finishes brilliantly. Have fun!
7/13/2024 – In the diagram position the black king is in a tight spot, and with the cool 36.Ka2! White was already looking forward to 36...Rd2. You were too?
7/6/2024 – In the diagram position Black played 24...Nd7 to simplify things - but from what I know about you, you will find a way to put a spanner in the works with White!
6/22/2024 – Nowadays, White's play from the diagram position is part of the standard repertoire of every attacker - though White has two promising options in the current position. Can you pick the right one?
6/15/2024 – When he played 18...Rc5! and reached the diagram position, Black naturally knew what he wanted to play after 19.b4. The game turned into an exciting and entertaining slugfest - have fun!
