Chess.com's Weekly Study: February 21st 2016

Hello Chess.com!

Starting with 2016, we will be posting a Weekly Study, courtesy of Yochanan Afek, Grandmaster for composing endgame studies. These challenging positions are designed to stimulate (and improve upon!) your creativity, depth of calculation, pattern recognition and pure imagination.

wow, great!

First page!

Not an original idea, but I like how it takes the Reti theme with the Nc3 stalemate theme. All together relatively easy, but still fun.

I like the idea. Where will we find the puzzle each week?

I think I just figured out the answer to my question.

In the end game forum.

Took a while to figure out the purpose of the knight move 

Next week's study! Enjoy!
