Today I was playing a game a chess on my break with someone and we arrived at this position and I visualized the mate in 6 (although there are faster ways, I went with the most forcing) in my head before playing it. I was super excited to see that my calculation and visualization skills as well as pattern recoginition have been improving. See if you can see all the moves.

My name is David Blackwelder. I started playing tournament chess at the age of 22. I have worked my way from the 1200s to a peak rating of 1843 (December 2021). Those are my United States Chess Federation (USCF) ratings. My short-term goal is to reach a rating of 2000 which will earn me the Expert title. My long-term goal is to get the National Master (NM) title at a rating of 2200. As an adult they say it is near impossible, well I don't believe that. Therefore I am creating blogs and videos to help other adult players improve their chess. Thanks for following me!
