16th ch-EUR Indiv Jerusalem 2015.2.24 Yesterday. Position before Black’s 22nd move. Ofcourse, Black is on top, that there is no question about. But how to best make progress? If Black plays the tempting 22…Rxg2+?! 23.Kf1 Rf8 White has 24.Rxf4! Rxf7 25.Rxf7 and he can still put up some resistance. Black deserves more…
BLACK TO PLAY AND CRUSH!

16th ch-EUR Indiv Jerusalem 2015.2.25 Today. Position after 25 moves. Black has played a risky opening and things have not gone very well for him. He dreams of some explosion on f2…hoping to turn defeat into victory…UNFORTUNATELY, it is White’s move!
WHITE TO PLAY AND CRUSH!

WHITE TO PLAY AND CRUSH!
