I went over all Danny's Basic and Paterns videos a couple of times before the Big Enchilada tournament in Raleigh and won my section ( under 1800 ). My first win in a tournament. Thanks Danny... You're the best!

Qxe5 only delays mate for one more move. Black need not move the queen, dxe5 does the job well enough without relinquishing the pressure.

Actually, I just looked at the last one. Mate can be avoided with qxe5+ required the black queen to take back, giving enough time for the temporarily saving Rb4 followed by Rh4 if Black plays Rh8 which would temporarily end any mates. But it's still such a clear and distinct win black could rightly resign

At age 14, Daniel earned the status of U.S.C.F. National Master, an achievement that was a record for Arizona chess players at the time. Daniel was ranked in the Top 10 for his age in the United States every year from the age of 12 - 21years old, and at one point he was the highest rated 19-year old in the country. He earned the IM title at age 23. As a Chess Coach/Trainer, Danny has developed multiple State and National Champions. Recently, he has cut back his teaching duties significantly to focus on the growth of Chess.com and ChessKid.com, and to strive towards the GM title.
