Tactics Tuesday -- Week 28
Another pretty easy one. White pushed f3 to attack black's queen and in response, black counter attacked the white queen. What is the best continuation for white?
Tactics Tuesday -- Week 27
Here is a recent position from a game between two Joplin club players online. Material is even and white has just counter attacked the black queen with Be3.
Is that a good idea? What should black do?
No tactic this week. Wasn't able find a good one this time around. Hopefully we'll find one for next week
Tactics Tuesday -- Week 25
Here is an easier (maybe?) position from an online game this weekend, still in the opening. Black has just pushed a pawn to e6, what is white's best move?
Tactics Tuesday -- Week 24
A little late on posting but at least it is still Tuesday. This position came from an Online Quick rated 15+2 game this past weekend.
White is up a pawn and black has just pushed d4 attacking the rook on f3. What is the best path forward?
There is one line here that is decent and one that is much better than all other options.
