Here is an easier one. White to play and win.
Solutions on the blog including yet another RHP recent
pawn promotion catastrophe. ‘Pause Before Promoting.’
We end with a ‘Mate From an Old Date.’ where we see an RHP player capture
in four moves a Rook, a Knight, a Bishop, a Queen and delivering checkmate.

Study the classics. Learning from the games of past grandmasters can provide invaluable insights and inspire new strategies.

Sound advice. My task since I started this blog back in 2010 is to show home and
casual players, the majority here, is that the magic the masters produced is always
just under the surface of their games and can be played in their games. Games to be proud of.
Instead although we have days/weeks to move everyone seems to be playing correspondence blitz.
However, some of the blunders are hilarious and everyone seems to be having a jolly good time.
