Commentsmattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: DisharmonyThis puzzle is somewhat short but it was probably one of the puzzles that took me more time to solve, especially because I had no idea what to accomplish... But turns out it's already forced…mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: A world to rememberThe answer is as follows, but I still think there was a way to trade Queens or at least keep the white Queen while trading pieces, what do you think?mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Submarine voyageI had absolutely no idea how I came with the solution at the first try but, winning a knight with this series of moves was delightful:mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: IntrusionThis is probably the weirdest puzzle I've solved (with help and hints) and I still don't understand what I'm trying to achieve here, I traded a rook and then what?mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: DecongestantPretty complex puzzle with which I struggled, mainly because it meant sacrificing both rooks to open a path for the Queen to deliver a checkmate after five moves, incredibly hard to spot it.mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Light LunchI don't know if I am already sleepy or what but, I had to try like ten different moves before I hit the correct one, after that it was all easy for me but in a game I would have never seen this…mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: CannonballI struggled to find the correct move, not because I didn't see it but because I hadn't realize his Queen was trapped with no escape whatsoever once I set a rook on f5.mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: A pawn in jeopardyTrading bishops forces his king to get the pawn and earns us position to take most if not all of his pawns, great moves to be honest.mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Deceptive DiscoveryI mean, I got the puzzle right but, I still don't get it. I traded a bishop and a rook for my Queen and yeah, once you're up in piece advantage you should trade piece so your opponent has less…mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Tactics and timingmattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Roll callOne thing I love about chess is that sometimes we can delay imminent moves or takes while we put the opponent's king in check and gain additional board position, which this puzzle is meant to teach…mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: So closeYou see this puzzle is mastery at it's best: You sacrifice a pawn, a knight and a rook in exchange of a bishop but you gain the best position ever: You take down your opponent's only crownable pawn…mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Do I need to react?This puzzle is rather stupid because the moves are counterintuitive, there's no way black would behave like that, let alone let himself be caught in a situation like the one depicted here but, what…mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Light Square shuffleThat's mate in 3 right there and I didn't even see it after I solved the puzzle, I was like well, and what does this achieve?

One good move can change the tides and damn, finding that move that made our opponent exchange the Queen for a rook is damn satisfying.mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: ExposureI don't know if I'm getting good at this or if this puzzle was too easy, but I found the solution in my head at first glance and I didn't even had to make some trial and error or mistaked attempts.…mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Improving on Master PlayThis puzzle was hard, not because the moves were difficult to find but because you have to think well ahead (5 moves) to see the position you end up in, and also how you trade up a knight and a pawn…mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Rolling with the capturesHm, probably a level 1 kind of puzzle, it was too obvious and simple, but perhaps it's meant to be that way so even rookies can understand the importance of knowing how to trade pieces and to make…mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: Endgamen calculationSo, I managed to get rid of his c7 pawn and trade pawn for pawn in b3, effectively making my advantage a balanced game into a +1 advantage for me.mattthompson (64)in chess • 3 years agoRE: When you find a good move...It is definitely meant to be like that.
