Everyone has games where you find certain tactics, or you finish a game, and analyze a tactic. I have 2 puzzles for you to solve, and if you want to, feel free to post some tactics from you own games

1)

This tactic is a little tricky. Simple once you find the idea.

2)

This tactic is not the most logical, but works, assuming that Black will Blunder a few moves into the tactic.

These are excellent puzzles!! But in the second puzzle, black plays Nxd4. Which is not forced. Black has much more options. Even with white playing Nxd4, Qxd4, black's move Nxd4 is a blunder. Also, on Black's 4th move, Nc6, should be exb5. I know you meant to put these blunders in here (I think), I'm just explaining!! Good puzzles!!

Yeah, I wrote assuming Black blunders, but most players won't. My opponent was a 992, I was an 806, but he played so well OTB, I don't know how he missed it...
