the power of tactics (Alireza Firouzja)
We know we need to calculate when we do puzzle rush or puzzle battle or puzzle survival.
But no one tells us when to strike during a game. Is there a tactical shot ?
Well, we need to consider all possibilities including tactics.
But is there a way to develop intuition when tactics may occur ? I think so
an open position leads to tactical chances. a weak king may create an opportunity. an unprotected piece by our opponent as well.
and then we analyze top GMs and see when they strike, when they deliver the killer blow, this helps us alot.
EXAMPLE 1
White is GM Firoujza
Black is GM Naroditsky
Black to play (given as a puzzle, click ? for lsolution, or try a move on the board)
In both positions, open lanes, weak king safety and attacking themes should let ue ponder, is there a tactic here to end the game ?
