Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I used to look at chessgames.com puzzles a few years back and they have days where it will be easy and others where it's harder (want to say it gets harder progressively over the week but might be misremembering).

Just went on there and I did remember correctly. Monday is "very basic", Sunday is "almost impossible"

About puzzles: chessgames.com There's a link to embed the puzzle there. I wonder if that could work here somehow.

Today's puzzle can be seen on the homepage: chessgames.com

I used to do chessgames.com but rarely look at it now. The weekly progression is a good feature but I've got enough chess on my plate!

Lol, yes back then I didn't really play online (the odd game on Yahoo chess but not consistently).

Here’s one from a recent game:



Why was my last move 22. h6 a mistake & how should white take advantage?

Does Nxf7 followed by Qh5+ work? I can’t see a follow up though apart from getting the piece back.

Yes spot on, turns a -1 into a +1. Simple tactic which opp missed & regretted after, as if it had been a winning manoeuvre. It probably was at Brian level, wasted on me as I was oblivious to it.

Zero chance of me seeing it without you telling me to look for it.

After the Nc5, the one on c6 looks under pressure and the b5 pawn too..
