7 Day Tactics Challenge: Day 5 (Master)
Hi everyone! Welcome to Day 5 of the 7 Day Tactics Challenge. We're now at the master level - these puzzles are taken from my own games, and they were tricky enough that I didn't manage to solve some of them in the game either!
As a reminder, for each puzzle, you can score points using the following system:
You have 3 strikes per puzzle. Get as far in the puzzle as you can before making 3 mistakes, and then check the solution. Add up your points up to the last move you solved. Pay attention to bonus points - today's puzzles have a special way to score bonus points, by getting MOVES right on your first try. Think carefully!
For example, if you make it through 2 moves that each give 2 points, and then make your 3rd mistake, then you'll get 4 total points for the puzzle.
After you've solved all 3 puzzles, add up all your points together. Then, check the section at the end of this post to see how you did!
