Tactics Tuesday -- Week 31
Another really late post and and easy one at that.
This comes from an online blitz game between two Joplin club players a little over a week ago. Black has just pushed g5 to attack white's knight. What should white do?
Tactics Tuesday -- Week 30
A little late on this but here is an easier one from another game last week. White has just move Bd3; what is black's best move?
Tactics Tuesday -- Week 29
Here is a position from a 3,+2 blitz game from this past Sunday. White is up a pawn and has attacked black's queen. What is the best continuation for black?
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?
