Today I created 4 puzzles from my game which I played in Titled Tuesday tournament against Candidate Master Oscar Ardila from Colombia.

2 exercises happened in the game, and the other 2 I found when analyzed the game.

In this position he missed a tactics, possible because he did not find the 2nd move of this variation:

After his missed opportunity I found a good defensive move which gave me a small edge:

After the exchanges I got a winning position. How would you finish the game?

He missed this chance to keep the balance:

I wish you nice combinations in your games!

Today I was teaching the Classical Dragon to one of my students Barna. I recorded the session and You can watch it:

Then I had a nice lunch: Beans soup, cesar salad and poppy seed bread pudding.

After the meal I was teaching Raphael one of my students from Japan, Tokyo.

We analysed one of his games which he finished with a nice checkmate:

Then I showed him a great example about finding a plan in a static position. White had a fantastic King march to checkmate the black king:

Then I showed them an example about activity for material sacrifice:

The next coaching session was with Kevin. First we analysed one of his games where he had a nice victory with the minority attack and a good defense:

Then I showed him one of my games where an interesting bishop versus knight endgame happened:

After the coaching I started to play in the Titled Tuesday. You can watch the games in this video:

After the Tourney I had dinner: bread with cooked vegetables, cesar salad, berry cake and poppy seed bread pudding. It was great

Then I was teaching one of my students from Denver, Jeff. I helped him to solve this checkmate puzzle. He solved it without looking on the board. Then we discussed some opening ideas with him:

The last coaching session today was with Pablo, one of my students I was teaching long time ago. He showed one of his games in the Latvian gambit. He got a great position out of the opening, but allowed wrong exchanges and missed the endgame in the time trouble:
