Daily Calculation Exercises - Day 85 | Pirc Defense and Catalan Attack

I analysed 2 games to create today's 10 exercises. In the first game I played the Pirc defense and after highs and lows he force a draw by perpetual checks. In the other game I played the Catalan opening and got a strong attack o his king.

1. How can white give a checkmate?

2. I could win this position

3. How can he win the game?

4. I missed this strong idea

5. Powerful finish

6. This was his winning possibility. Please take 5-10 minutes to find it!

7. This was my final move
8. How can white win material?
9. How can white keep the initiative?
10. How can black get counterplay?
You can replay the full games with my notes:
The Pirc Defense:

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.
