Courseblog #1 : Chess mistake and creative punishment - 80 puzzles
We all make mistakes in chess. Even at my level which is 2400 blitz & 2400-2500 rapid, my opponents and I make mistakes and blunders in nearly every game. Which chess skill is the most crucial one? It's tactics, the ability to punish those blunders! The more patterns you know - the better you are as a player. You face typical tactical motifs and patterns in nearly every game. But is this post about that? No! Here are very few common tactical patterns, and the ones which I find most beautiful. This blog is aimed to show you the beauty of chess and the creativity involved in punishing mistakes in chess. I reviewed over 500 of my rapid and some blitz games to create this blog! I selected the most interesting mistakes with the most creative punishments. Courseblog is the blog which you can use as the part of your chess training. Let's start!You will be given the screenshot of the position with the mistake that occurred in the game. Your task will be to find the correct move. The board orientation shows you which side you're playing as.
Overall there are 80 puzzles. First puzzles are the easiest.
