Daily Calculation Exercises - Day 66 | Catalan Opening Checkmate
Today's 10 exercises are from a game I played against an Indonesian Woman FIDE Master. I sacrificed a pawn in the Catalan Opening and was able the checkmate her.
This was the final idea:
How can black keep the equal position?
How can black gain an advantage?
How can white finish the game?
How can black defend?
How should white capture on d5?
Checkmate in 3 moves:
How can black save the position?
How can white gain a winning advantage? Please take 5-10 minutes
How can white keep the initiative?
You can replay the 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.
