Tactics Tuesday -- Week 21
A little late on this one; having a hard time finding a good one, so found one that may be too easy for most of you.
This came from an online 10|2 game. White has just moved the queen to h4. What should black do?
Tactics Tuesday -- Week 20
Here is another easy one from a 10|0 US Chess Online rated game. White is up a pawn and decided to push a pawn to g4. What is black's best continuation.
What should white have done instead?

I certainly can relate to a similar thought process leading to major blunders.

Here is a position from a US Chess Online Blitz G/3,+2 rated event. White has just played Qd1-f3. What should black do and what is the continuation?
Just wanted to put this out there again. I haven't had anyone contact me so in the next week or so I will be advertising more widely, contacting some organizers and sponsors to get these to players that can use them.
