Welcome to the fifth edition of Find the brilliant move (!!) ! As always, all games are extracted from my game history. Before we start, I'm working on more opportunities for you to get some brilliant moves: check my open tournaments:

  1. P2K+OBC open thematic tournament #7: Budapest Gambit
  2. P2K+OBC open thematic tournament #9: Caro-Kann Defense: Advance Variation
  3. P2K+OBC open thematic tournament #10: Caro-Kann Defense: Classical Variation
  4. Promote to King 960 open #1
  5. Promote to King knock-out open tournament #11
  6. Promote to King knock-out open tournament #12
  7. Promote to King knock-out open tournament #13

Starting with a tournament game from roughly two years ago. Black is one pawn up, but couldn't castle. What could go wrong?

Believe it or not, the following two puzzles are from the same game, a few moves appart.


Shocking news: two more against the same opponent, on the second game of the same team match!


Thanks for reading, more to come!
