So opening this thread for any examples players want to post of any tactical motifs, of any kind. For real-game examples. Or a nice study too. Tho I will hope that examples from Chess Problems doesnt hinder anyone from posting their real-life example just becasue it is similar. Since a lot of players mention that they like to see tactics that evolve from real games. So I'd like them to get as much of that as posssible . . . }8-)

I carried it out to the fullest extent that my opponent would allow, as a case of example. To show just How Far one of these things can carry on! So if you look, both players might have improved a bit on the actual game sequence. And you might find it interesting to figure out how, if this is a new tactic to you. WT can at least win the Q, no matter what. And there's some more mates in there too. :) *** [Event "ChessAnyTime/AjedrezOnline rated blitz game"] [Site "ChessAnyTime/AjedrezOnline, France"] [Date "2005.11.02"] [Time "13:33:37"] [Round "-"] [White "tempusfugit"] [Black "timtimtim2"] [WhiteElo "1815"] [BlackElo "1509"] [ECO "C41"] [TimeControl "600+0"] [Mode "ICS"] [Result "1-0"] 1. e4 e5 2. d4 d6 3.

Posted by ccmcacollister uskidscompute.com 11/02/2005 05:33:22 play online chess	one Stock Attack vs h7 Message: is shown in board #1556986 wherein BL must sac the Queen to avoid immediate mate. Then WT has a Rb1 position for lifting Rb3 and transferance to the K-side. Or can play f4 and Rf3. This latter or a Re1 going Re3 then to K-side are more commonly seen during these attacks, than the R coming from the b-file to the K-side. But it is nice when you can set up to bring pieces over from the other wing, being efficient and adding to the total number of them that can be brought over to bear. But in this case BL could delay things vs Rb3 by playing ...f4. So WT should decide if it is better to allow that then eliminate it with Nxf4 or just play f4 himself, first. What do you think? Can you mate from the end position?
Posted by ionadowman uskidscompute.com 11/03/2005 00:22:48 play online chess	I'd play 19.Rb3... Message: Though Black was right to resign when he did. Q for N down, Black K cut off on the h-file, and still under heavy attack. 19.Rb3 f4 20.Nxf4 Rg8 (say) 21.Qh5+ Kh2-g2 22.Rg3+... etc. The e-file stands open to receive the other rook, Black has no play at all. Pretty dire, really! Yes there's a mate - but at this point I wouldn't trouble to calculate right down the the Black K's quietus. Cheers, Ion

Jonathan Hawkins and Peter Williams shine at Hastings Masters -- The Hastings Masters, as ever generously supported by the local council, had two significant English successes besides the triumph of the 19-year-old David Howell and Mark Hebden, 51, who shared first prize with chess players from France and Romania. Jonathan Hawkins qualified for the international master title with his third IM performance in as many tournaments. The remarkable feature was that he did it aged 26, living in Durham away from major chess centres, and that he learned his chess skills from a computer without a human coach. Hawkins was graded 102, a weak novice, at age 14, and 158, moderate club standard, at 19, but he has surged in his ...
