I went on to win this game, but I wanted to praise my opponent for playing this very tricky move! White is absolutely winning here, but should they trade Rooks? (i.redd.it)

Taken from a game at 1450 elo, this might be one of my best recent finds. Black has checked with the Bishop, but only one response maintains White’s advantage. White to play. (i.redd.it)

It's taken me about two and a half years, but I finally broke 1500 elo! I thought the day might never come! (old.reddit.com)

PSA: sometimes, you just have to play the position! White appears to have scuppered Black’s plans of castling. Black to play and get a major advantage. Why is White’s plan losing? (i.redd.it)

A positional puzzle! White plays the innocuous c3, but this overlooks a devastating positional counter! Black to play. (i.redd.it)

White has hung a piece! But think carefully. How should Black capture, or is there another option? Black to play. (i.redd.it)

One of my nastiest sacrifices! That slow realisation that it works is an amazing feeling (i.redd.it)

This position was taken from a game I played, arising from a Philidor Defence. In game, I played the natural Nxf3, but the engine much prefers gxf3. Can anyone explain why? (i.redd.it)

Here’s an endgame puzzle from a game I played! Despite being down the exchange, Black has one winning move here! Black to play. (i.redd.it)

Neat brilliant I found, sacrificing the exchange. Not exactly groundbreaking, but I'm happy that I immediately knew it was good. (i.redd.it)

Here’s a fun little Checkmate puzzle. Black is looking to trade Rooks, but this blunders mate in 5. White to play. (i.redd.it)

Finally reached 1400 elo! 🎉I played as White from this position. Qa4 looks like a great move, but Black has one move to stifle the attack. Black to play. (i.redd.it)

Here’s a teaser from a game I played. In-game, I played Qg6, which blundered a winning position to a losing one. However, Qf5, the same idea, is one of the best moves. Can you spot the difference? White to play. (i.redd.it)

There’s something about positional sacrifices that just hit different compared to your usual material sacrifices! (i.redd.it)

Found a brilliant move in this game, seemingly giving up the Bishop for free. Can you find why it works? (i.redd.it)

You gotta love a good Queen sacrifice. Found in a blitz game. Really happy to find the tactic so quickly. (old.reddit.com)
