Here we have a typical Benoni position. There is nothing tactical here: Think about how you understand the position and how you would play as Black.

Where to take this Knight? | Puzzle of the day 09/01/2023

When we study strategy, we learn (or should) where our pieces need to go. To know this, a relevant tip is to look at the pawn structures: Where are the weak squares, weak pawns, ruptures, etc. With that in mind, how would you play with white?

World Cup and its moments | Puzzle of the day 08/19/2023

This is a possible variant of the match between Luis Paulo Supi and Wei Yi, in the second round of the Cup. Seeing his analyses, Supi said that he had even seen the position of the diagram, omitting a super feature (which, by the way, is not easy to see, taking into account that this is the 2/3 move of his analysis in the head from him!). Can you find the finisher for white?
