4 Puzzles and 2 Instructive Games Annotated by NM Craig Clawitter
I think a big reason that chess has had the staying power that it has, is that, in order to be good at chess, you need to be able to adapt to very different situations. One game you may win because you converted a winning endgame. The next you might've avoided a worse endgame by checkmating your opponent with a blistering attack and so on, and so on...
Below are 4 puzzles that come from two very different types of games. Try your luck on the puzzles and then find the answers in the annotated games below the puzzles.
Happy solving!
