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
Chess news: In Chicago, a Chess Tournament That Turns Out Grandmasters -- In 1993, Laszlo Nagy began organizing monthly chess tournaments in Budapest that give players a chance to earn the norms needed to gain the grandmaster and international master titles. Called the First Saturday tournaments, the events have attracted many of the world’s best chess players. Five years ago, a Chicago man created a similar tournament series, the North American Masters, to help American chess players. The man, Sevan A. Muradian, organized the first one in April 2005. The 25th tournament ended March 24, and two players, Mackenzie Molner and Siddharth Ravichandran, each earned the third norm needed to become international masters ... Hard Times for Chess -- Early last week, Silvio Danailov, the manager of Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, said in an interview that the M-Tel Masters would not be played this year because the main sponsor, after which the chess tournament is named, had pulled out. Instead, the company decided that it would get more for its money by sponsoring Topalov in his upcoming world chess championship match against Viswanathan Anand of India, the titleholder. Danailov said that he hoped that the chess tournament, which is usually held in May, would return next year. The world chess championship match begins on April 23 in Sofia, Bulgaria. M-Tel was first played in 2005, so it does not have a long tradition, but ... Finding a draw against a pair of queens -- It's never easy to face a brace of queens. But can black find an answer here? Kramnik-Gashimov, Melody Amber 2010. Black to play. RB It's never exactly a comfort to find yourself facing a brace of queens, but at least they're as far from the defence of their own king as it's possible to get, and that king is exposed. Also, as long as the black queen can keep an eye on f8 neither enemy queen can give check on the next move. So there may be a chance for a draw. Three possible moves suggest themselves: 1...Qxg3, Ne1 and 1...Qf1+. 1...Qxg3 looks tempting – the threat is 2...Nf2 mate – but it has the rather obvious and slightly fatal drawback of ...
