This week's puzzles feature four puzzles which aims for material. Forks and pins are further studied this week, two tactics which play a major role in chess and the road to victory. Another material advantage puzzle has an ordinary-looking position, but it's not that simple........the last puzzle has Black's King about to be the victim of a discovered check. What's more, White's  pieces are poised to attack and capture. However, the next move totally throw Black off, but as doom approaches, Black sees it, and he falls in defeat. Another score for White!

PUZZLES FOR WEEK 12:

 

Very Easy

Aim: Material advantage


Easy

Aim: Material advantage


Normal

Aim: Material advantage

If you've been following my previous puzzles, you should remember the hardest move to find is a Queen move one step backward. Well, this puzzle doesn't feature Queens going backwards, but it does feature a Queen being trapped by a backward move.


Hard

Aim: Material advantage

This position looks so ordinary, if you weren't aware this was a puzzle, you would've reply with a positional move and miss the move altogether. Look carefully in every position when you play chess!


Very Hard

Finally, a checkmate puzzle! This one is short, and quite forgettable, but it will provide entertainment to the brainy all the same.


Have fun!
