Hello Readers!

It's been a long time since I wrote, so I decided to write a blog containing some studies I found. I have no idea who composed them, but we are here for the moves, not the names!

Let's start with an easy scenario:

If that was difficult, then please consider solving some quick tactics.

Let's increase the difficulty level a bit:

This one should be easy enough. Try solving the next one:

Be assured that Black won't sit and wait for the heavy artillery to destroy the soon-to-be Queen.

If you want more, have this:

The piece de resistance: it is really tough to solve, but absolutely possible. Think about this one for about 15 minutes using plain logic, and you might be able to solve it!

All the studies given here can be solved using logic: they're just like mathematical equations. Prevent Black from doing what they want, like queening a pawn, etc. etc. using the most logical move possible. Also be aware that Black can set traps and don't blindly charge at a sandcastle in an attempt to destroy it, only to fall into a well made hole beneath.

Good luck solving! Like, share and comment for more content! Also if somebody can help with the picture, I would be grateful. Thanks for reading!
