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!
6/1/2024 – The diagram position appeared 64 times in the Mega and 52 times Black recaptured on d6 in the wrong way - so it's high time to warn you about this opening trap!
5/25/2024 – In the diagram position White could have won with the immediate 21.Bxh7+!, while the game continuation 21.f4 Ng4 22.Bxh7+ Kxh7 22.Qxf8 was nicely refuted by Black. Two queens in enemy territory - enjoy!
5/18/2024 – 19...Ra6?? in the diagram position attacks the white knight... and loses the game on the spot! Can you prove why this move deserves two question marks?
5/11/2024 – Four precise moves by White out of the diagram position, so that Black has to lay down his arms because of a loss of material - can you manage that?
5/4/2024 – "Check all checks and captures" is a useful tip when accessing sharp positions, however, in the diagram White uncorked a bomb move of a completely different kind. I'm curious to see if you can find it!
4/20/2024 – From the diagram position, White starts a forced sequence at the end of which only the Rh8 remains of the black pieces. Have fun clearing the board!
4/6/2024 – The diagram position is from a game Garry Kasparov and Zoltan Ribli played at the tournament in Skelleftea 1989. Playing 26.Rxb5 White had offered a draw - but after the obligatory 26...Bxe3 he could win by force! Can you find today what the great Garry Kasparov missed back then?
3/30/2024 – With his opening move in the diagram position Black ensures that the white king remains unsafe, and only three moves later there will be sudden checkmate finale. Have fun!
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!
