I recently played three G15 games in a row against a
fellow and all three games were riddled with opening blunders; here’s a little
tactics quiz from the games.
In this position (from a QGD Panov-Botvinnik Attack) what
should Black play?
Highlight: 9...Bb4 10.0–0 Nf6 White
has a slight initiative, but Black’s position is OK.
.
He blundered with 9…Nxd4? What should White play?
Highlight: 10.Bxd4+ Qxd4 11.Bb5+ and Black resigned.
He has to give up either the a8R or the Q.
In this position (from the Two Knight’s Defense) my opponent
(White) should have played what? Highlight: 18.Be3 was his best.
He actually played 18.c4.
How does Black respond?
Highlight: 18…e3! Exposing him to a devastating
attack from the B’s and Q. After 19.d5 19...exf2+ 20.Kxf2 Nxd5! 21.Qxd5 Bc5+ 22.Be3 Qf6+ his Q is lost.
In this position (from a Four Knights Game) I have just
blundered with 9.Bxc3??. What should Black
play?
Highlight: He should play 9...Qf6 Attacking the B on c6
and threatening bad stuff on f2. 10.f3
Nxc3 11.bxc3 Ba6! 12.Qxa6 Bxc3+ 13.Kf2 Bxa1 and because my B is pinned, I
can’t capture the a8R. Instead he played
9...Bf5? 10.Bxa8 Ng3?? 11.Qxg3… and now Butthead wasn’t man enough to resign; he just disconnected.
