SEPTEMBER BLITZ & MEMES

Hello, my fellow Tactic solvers, and welcome to the latest edition of Blitz and Memes. If you're a lover of solving complicated tactics taken from amateur online chess tournaments, while simultaneously looking at chess memes...Well, then you have come to the right place, because that's what I do.

The following tactics have been taken from the National Chess Society of Japan's monthly online Blitz tournament, while the memes were taken from various corners of the Internets.

Without further ado, lets get to the Blitz and Memes; good luck solving all 5 of the tactics on the first try, there are some tricky ones this time.

It was a good month for chess memes...

There are two ways to solve the following puzzle, but you only get full points if you do it with Style...

Some traps are unavoidable...

A double attack leads my opponent into a Trap...

This was all Magnus' fault...amirite?

White's pawns are weak...go on, take them...

When you reach your goal, only to realize how weak you still are...

Those first three were easy...here come the Tricky ones...

Oh, I'm in danger...

Brilliant move coming up...

And that was it, that was September Blitz and Memes. Congratulations to anyone who was able to solve all 5 tactics on the first try; you are certainly an incredible solver of online Blitz tournament tactics.

Let me know in the comments what you think about the whole Hans vs Magnus drama...personally I think Magnus might be getting a little paranoid, kind of like Fischer and Morphy, maybe its the price of genius.

As always, thanks for reading and feel free to share these puzzles with your friends down at the Library or Bar.

Cheers, SheldonOfOsaka.

Congrats to FM Gentle_Emperor for winning with a perfect score.
