10 Exercises of the Week #21

Hello Friends! Every week I select 10 positions ranging from easy to difficult across various themes like tactics, strategy, endgame, defence, etc. for you guys to solve and enjoy. For this week, I have selected 10 positions from 3 ongoing World Class events - Norway Chess, Maharashtra GM Open, and the MPL Indian Chess Tour. In Norway Chess today, there's a mouth-watering clash between Vishy Anand and Magnus Carlsen- the leaders of the event as of now!
