Just had this position in one of my training games.

White to play... what is the best move here?

Here's a sticky situation I found myself in in one of my training games:

My queen and rook got skewered :O ! But fortunately, I found a way to save both pieces... can you find it?

Another one from one of my training games against a bot:

I'm a pawn down, and my pawn structure is a mess. Fortunately, my pieces are much more active than Black's - and I found a way to seize the advantage. What was it?

Now, a tricky mate-in-2 problem:



I managed to solve it in the end, but it took me a while.

Here's one that I just solved:

[Image: 8FGju5j.png]

White has just taken our knight with 1. Rxd5. So, we're down a knight for a pawn. How do we proceed?

Solution

So, did you see the correct move - and why it was the correct move?

Here's one, adapted from a game I just played:

[Image: lc6YPjB.png]

You're playing as Black - and, oh no, your knight and bishop just got skewered! Can you save both pieces - and, if so, how?

I'll give you guys a few days to solve it, before I post the solution :P .

That is possible - but, White can take en passant, and then the passed pawn on g6 is so strong that White has the advantage, even if Black finds a way to save both pieces!

So, good guess, but try again :) .
