Cool tip if you haven't seen this type of pattern before, I just had it in a game. ๐
It's tempting to give checks to an exposed king, but it usually just leads to him coming back to safety on g2.
Cutting the king off is very important here - Qh3!

My 2000 Opponent CRUSHED Me, But He Didn't Expect THIS! ๐
(Boลกnjaci Open - Round 5)
I was literally shaking after this game.
One of the wildest fighting endgames I've ever played.

I played g5 and then d5! Getting rid of my doubled pawns. This was the best way to go

Very good!
Even better if you realize that it's forced mate after 4...Kg8 5. Ref6 :D
Even though it's the endgame, we have to recognize that the Black king is in a mating net
HOW TO CONTINUE?
Endgames are tough, but this one may not be that tough!
Give it a try - what to do as White?

Time to end the game, do you see the cleanest win?
#chess #chesspunks ๐ฆ๐ฅ
Well spotted! :D
That's how I continued and it was a smooth victory from there
SOLVE THE PROBLEM
(My 2nd Croatian League 2025 - Round 5 - Part 3)
After I established dominance in the middlegame, my opponent decided to sacrifice a knight for a pawn just to generate counterplay.
How would you react here as Black?

Well done! I played Ka7 in the game and won quite smoothly
WHAT'S THE IDEA?
(My 2nd Croatian League 2025 - Round 5 - Part 2)
My opponent made a strange looking move..
What's the idea and how should I deal with it?
#chess #chesspunks ๐ฆ๐ฅ
Well spotted! The queen is overloaded - protecting both e3 and the bishop
I did the other move order in the game, bishop takes bishop first
HOW DID I CONTINUE?
(My 2nd Croatian League 2025 - Round 5 - Part 1)
My IM opponent played a questionable strategy, can I punish it or is it time to complete development?

WHAT DID I HAVE PLANNED?
(My 2nd Croatian League 2025 - Round 4 - Part 2)
My opponent didn't play Rcb8, but for good reason - I had something planned against this!
What would be my response to this move?
#Chess #chesspunks ๐ฆ๐ฅ
Very good rating to achieve, well done! :D
I'm 26 years old now and pushing further! I have the FM title, but I'm pushing for IM :)

Not bad, but Black can simply ignore it - when I go axb6 they go axb6 too
It's more important to notice the a3-f8 diagonal!
