This will be my last daily posting in Free Chess Help. I am discontinuing posting with groups without a lot of reads. Of course, I will always have love for Free Chess Help and I'm only a message away. Feel free to contact me for individual assistance. At this point I'm trying to focus on a smaller number of active groups. I've enjoyed it!

Quote: "When I am in form, my style is a little bit stubborn, almost brutal. Sometimes I feel a great spirit of fight which drives me on . . . "
*Disclaimer - Some of the problems have multiple solutions. However, I will give the solution that I feel is an easier pattern to recognize or better technique. Further, depending on the level of difficulty, sometimes I will not give the optimal response to try to imitate human play. If you click the move list and solution, sometimes I will insert alternate moves and explanations (check and see). I welcome discussion and feel free to ask or answer a person's question on the message boards! I would highly recommend to practice the problems at a board too! *
Hope you enjoy!
