Carlsen's choice
2/13/2015 – Tactics can seem deceptively simple, particularly when seeing an engine analysing grandmaster games. Strange, however, how difficult it is to find the right move and to calculate variations properly when playing yourself. It is easier if you solve tactical puzzles regularly. In the ChessBase Magazine and his tactics column Oliver Reeh helps you to do so.
Find the right combination! ChessBase 15 program + new Mega Database 2020 with 8 million games and more than 80,000 master analyses. Plus ChessBase Magazine (DVD + magazine) and CB Premium membership for 1 year!
Carlsen's choice
With his passed a-pawn White of course wants to win, but Black is threatening 41...Nf2+ picking up the rook d1. Exchange sacrifice, flight forward or repeating move - what would you choose?
A) 41.Rxd4
B) 41.Kg2 Nf4+ 42.Kg3 Ne2+ 43.Kg4 Rf4+ 44.Kh5 Rf5+ 45.Kxh6
C) 41.Kg2 Nf4+ 42.Kh1 Nh3 (=)
