Sunday’s 5-second tactic!
SPRAGGETT ON CHESS
1.
POSITION AFTER 29 MOVES:
gm KOMLJENOVIC
gm ESTREMERA
From yesterday’s final round of the 38th Sevilla International Open. Black is in a bad way, but is still struggling. White can now play 30.RxR+ followed by taking the e-pawn, but he smelled a rat… And he is right! After 31…Qc5+! 32.Kf1 Be7!! Black has a forced draw! After thinking a while in the above position, the solution finally came to Estremera…
WHITE TO PLAY AND WIN!

2.
POSITION AFTER 15 MOVES:
GONZALEZ ,JM
gm CAMPORA
Also from Sevilla. A sharp tactical fight! Black is hitting the a-pawn, as well as the Queen. Black reasoned that if Campora takes the 2-Rooks for the Queen then he will not be able to defend his a-pawn, giving Black serious counterchances….BUT there is a flaw! The position contains a hidden tactic…
WHITE TO PLAY AND WIN!
