Daily Calculation Exercises - Day 58 | Sicilian Dragon Victory
The story of the 10 exercises. A few days ago I played a blitz game against an American FIDE-Master. He played the dragon variation of the sicilian defense. I forgot my line and got in trouble quickly. He sacrificed a pawn on the queenside and used the open file to attack my king and my uncoordinated pieces.
This would be a nice finish:
How can black gain material?
What is the best option for black?
How can black continue the attack?
Black wins:
How can white keep the balance?
How to keep the initiative?
How should black push forward?
How can white defend?
How can black get an edge?
I wish you enjoyed the exercises. Please use the patterns in your games!

If you would like to improve your calculation I suggest you 2 great courses:
Tactics Ninja: Something unbelievable and funny. The editor Lily, being 1,200 on chess.com, raised her online rating by 100 points in 2 weeks, just by looking through the videos of this course when she was editing them.
Mating Matador: Mastering mating patterns is the next step to get better at tactics and become a dangerous attacker. It often bridges the gap between a strong attack against the opponent's King and victory. So once you become better at sniffing checkmates, your attacking skills naturally improve.
