more amatures need to post there best/useful tactics !

Similar to the game annotation thread I think more amatures should post the best or intresting tactics they came across during a game. When analyzing amature games its a little more than possible that you might pick up bad habits which will show later on in ones development but one thing is for sure and that is tactics are absolute so I think posint intresting tactics from amature games is best cause you'll start to see what tactics usualy appear in amature games in which positions, start to notice patterns of when a amature messes up (some people may mess up everytime they see a knight advance and not even notice) and you can pick up and learn from these mistakes yourselves and since there from REAL games and not just a tactics book of composed problems its very possible you'll see the samereoccuring themes.

When I say "useful" I mean any tactic during the game at hand even if it wasnt played! sometimes theres a neat tactic in a game that wasnt played out cause the opponent saw it or you both missed it ! so posting those types of tactics are good as well if you consider this theres probably alot of tactics that "could have happened" which is why I say post the best one of these if this is the case.

the reason i have not is 2:1. do not know how

2. some of the silly critizism i see here

to post comments about my game as i am playing

post under help and support this problem.

A position from a game in my youth as White against another student he sacrificed 1.Bxh2+ and when I took his Bishop with 2.Kxh2 he pinned my Queen with Rh8 but this pin backfired badly on my opponent 3.Rxc7+ forced Kb8 then I played 4.Rxd8+  forced Black to release the pin on my Queen with Rxd8 then I played 5.Rb7+ Kc8 finished him off with 6.Qc7+...........

how you do it?

like this:

Black forgot that they can´t eat the knight with dxc4 because of Bxh7+ winning the queen.

Good post even if its not a puzzle

Oops, there's a mistake in that puzzle.  The pawn at e3 should be at e4.  The puzzle can still be solved though.

@alec

Only someone very impatient would do that. All your opponent needed to do was to reverse the move order. to play Rh8 first. it can be followed by Be5 or Bd6.

or even better would be Rg8.

Here's a fun one I had in a game.  I'll do it in the style of puzzles I've seen in the book "The Ultimate Chess Puzzle Book" where it has you to find a tactic from a future position just a few moves away by asking something like:

Visualize from starting position.  White plays Rd1 and Black captured on e3.  Was this a mistake or did black win a pawn?

This game was full of tactics. Also full of mistakes... but the two often go hand-in-hand:

Nice puzzle...I hope you were white as black will lose his rook

Wafflemaster- I just realized black also loses quickly, right?

Wow, one long tactic.

Yeah... I missed 14. Be3, though, which would have won a lot more quickly.

The other Knight-move has interesting tactics in it, too.

8. ... Ng4 9. Bb5+ Nc6 (not 9. ... Kf8 10. Ne6+ winning the Queen) 10. Nxc6 Qxd1+ 11. Kxd1! (not 11. Nxd1 a6! 12. Ba4 Bd7! winning back the piece) Nf2+ 12. Ke2 Nxh1... and then you just ignore the hanging piece on c6 and the Knight on h1 (trapped anyway) and play 13. Bf4! consolidating the center.
