The various positional knight sac lines in the Smith Morra can be brutal. The setup looks a bit dull and Italian-ish but beneath the surface it is super sharp. I almost feel sorry for my opponent blundering into this ridiculous attack

The opponent messaged me "GG" with only 20s left on my clock in 2+1 bullet after I sac'd my knight to stop their passed pawn marching the entire way down the board. Can you see the way to refute their celebration?

This position is a personality test. There’s only two moves that punish the mistake (left as a puzzle but shown in image 2 and 3), and engine eval is pretty even between the two. Which move calls out to you?

Took 9 months but I’ve finally defeated the DLC and can unmute this sub again (was avoiding spoilers)... that last fight was gruelling!

Accused of cheating, but I actually just watched Finegold's video on the Greek gift a couple of days ago. 96.3% accuracy and checkmate on move 20!

To the young’uns and newbies: AC and ACC were both pretty glitchy and poorly optimised at launch. Kunos have good form for tweaking and improving until their sim is arguably the best in its field. ACE looks very promising, so let them cook

Really cool tactic I found in a match. Can you calculate the different variations to find the winning move?

It’s 13 moves into the Kings Gambit and Black is aggressively trying to get your king. You just punished 11. … Bg7 with 12. Bf7+ Ke7 - but things are very sharp. It’s time to punish their aggression and win the match, can you spot the one winning move?

Found this brilliant rook sacrifice with 11s on the clock to save the draw - then won the endgame when they got greedy! (also beat my highest rated Blitz opponent and setting a new Blitz ELO PB in the process)

My opponent stopped in disbelief and took 15 seconds processing what had happened before they resigned when I didn't take the queen and threw away mine instead! Pretty happy with this one

Can you spot the move my *cheating* opponent used to destroy me in this even material position? There's lots of good moves, but one is very brutal
