In this video I cover two games played on chess.com. In both games I play the black side of a Closed Sicilian Defense against a French Woman Grandmaster and a Argentinian National Master. These games include pawn gambits, closed positional maneuvers, pawn breaks, pawn structure, and of course TACTICS!!! See you on the board.

Let’s see how good your tactics are. This is a difficult puzzle. I’ll be impressed if you can find the solution

If you have any interesting games or positions you encountered or want to review post it here.

Has anyone here heard of or worked through 400 Chess Strategy Puzzles by Martyn Kravtsiv? I’ve just started it and it looks quite different from typical tactics books—it’s very focused on positional and strategic thinking and showing some weaknesses in my game. Curious if anyone’s tried it or interested in this kind of book Also wondering if anyone else would be interested in working through it together or discussing positions 👀
