Daily Calculation Exercises - Day 96 | Tarrasch Defense

Today I created 12 exercises from a game where my opponent played the Tarrasch defense against the Catalan opening. Activity or better pawn structure? The evergreen question.

1. How can black finish the attack?

2. Checkmate!

3. What is the only winning move? Please think 2-5 minutes!

4. How to attack?

5. How should white defend?

6. How can catch the king?

7. Checkmate in 2

8. Another checkmate

9. How can white keep the balance?

10. What is the best attack for black? Please think 5-10 minutes!

11. Me and my opponent both missed this in the game
12. What is the fastest checkmate?
You can replay the game with my notes:

I wish you enjoyed the exercises. Please use the patterns in your games!

I use and recommend these courses. Please check them. They may help you to go to the next level in your chess.

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.
