gm Mamedyarov- gm Georgiadis Biel 22.7.2018
White is a pawn up with the better game, but does not want to play all day to convert the point. He wants to win quickly! White to play and crush!
gm Ivanovic – Karisic,N Bar 22.7.2018
An excellent example of attack and defence.White has thrown everything into the attack. In the meantime, Black is attacking two pieces. How should White proceed?
gm Sevian – Flom,G World Open 6.7.2018
One of the themes in today’s practice is the danger of allowing the White Knight to go to f5. White to play and win!
gm Abergel – fm Kretchetov World Open 6.7.2018
How can White win material?
im Harshit,R – fm Seth,Homa World Open 5.7.2018
Black thinks he is winning the exchange with his Nd3. White to play and crush!
gm Moradiabadi – im Lammers Helsingor 23.7.2018
Beware of burying your rooks! White to play and win!
gm Saric – fm Pantzar,M Helsingor 22.7.2018
One more example of the Knight on f5 theme. White to play and win!
gm Maze – Gottstein Helsingor 22.7.2018
Black is tied down hand and foot. Fortunately for him, White is about to put him out of his misery. White to play and crush!
gm Grandelius – fm Moe,M Helsingor 22.7.2018
I like this one. Black seems to be doing quite well, except that his Kingside is weakened. White to play and crush!
