Sunday’s 5-second tactics

gm Galliamova, Alisa
gm Gunina, Valentina
Women’s Candidates Tournament going on right now in Russia. Position after 34 moves. Black was better a few moves before, but did not react properly when White’s Queen infiltrated on h7. Now Black must pay the price…
WHITE TO PLAY AND WIN!

Same tournament as above…position after 19 moves of play. Black looks solid enough, but the current female World Champion shows why she is the World Champion!

Russian Team Championship going on right now. Position after 28 moves of play. What can one expect? Black has weak pawns and his King is still stuck in the center. Expect the worse!
WHITE TO PLAY AND WIN!
