Daily Calculation Exercises - Day 60 | Attack against the Catalan
Yesterday I played with Ben Edgell. I played the Catalan and he replied with the aggressive c5 and b5 to sacrifice a pawn for a nice center. He got good compensation, but I defended well. I created 10 exercises from the game:
A checkmate from my analysis:
Another checkmate
How can black continue the attack?
How can black maintain the balance?
How to react to Rd2 check?
How can white get an advantage?
White captured the d7 queen. What should black do?
How can black get a compensation?
How can white keep his edge?
How should black use his initiative?
This is the full game with my notes:
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.
