Nice
Last puzzle: 1.Q:d6 c:d6 2.Nf7. Either black plays Kg8 and we take on g5, and we won a piece, either rook takes on f7, then we have Re8 check, Rf8, R:f8 checkmate. This is why it was important to eliminate the bishop first, else the f8 square would have been guarded twice
1. Qxd6, cxd6, 2. Nf7+, Kg8, 3. Nxg5+, Kh8, 4. Nf7+, Kg8, 5. Nxd6, wins Bishop and a pawn.
Thanks Igor!! I am new to your content and its aready making a difference in my game.
Best chess instruction on YouTube!
Back rank mate or take the queen.
Nf7+ Rxf7
Rd8+ Rf8
Rxf8#
Or if
Nf7+ Kg8
Nxg5
The second example ist really nice and it took me a few seconds to find the solution. Spectacular …
Qd6
Very very instructive. Great job , this has helped me tremendously get my thought process down. Do you give private lessons?
Awesome, thank you!
My problem is that I can see that there’s a tactic I can do in-game and probably know how to start it, but not know all my opponent’s moves . End up wasting time to be down material lol
😎👍👏
