Today in #SundayTactics we have one of the most beautiful chess moves ever played. If you are not acquainted with it yet, it will blow your mind!
Frank Marshall played Black against Stefen Levitsky, 1912. Only one move is left to play in this game, can you find it? #YourMove
@AntAnstead@wheelerdealers@mikebrewer@Discovery@MotorTrend Thanks for replying Ant,I can see what you mean and makes financial sense but a hot rod edition(as much as I really enjoyed it! and I really did)it’s just not living up to its heritage of the title Wheeler Dealers. USA cars are interesting but not as lovable as your own country x
This is the famous two-mover by Paul Morphy. He was 10 years old when he invented this problem, his only known chess composition.

Here is a famous Pal Benko's holiday puzzle that was first published by Chessbase in 2010. Do you think the placement of pieces resembles more of a candle 🕯️ or a tree 🎄? White to move and mate in two!

One of the best players of the 19th century, American Samuel Loyd (1841-1911) is most famous as a chess composer. Our today's puzzle is one of the problems that he created in 1885 and called “Sunny South”.

🧩 White to play and win
The position is from Paul Morphy's game against an amateur, played in Paris in 1859. Black just made a mistake retreating his king to c8 after Ne6+ (had he played Ke8 it could be another story). Now White wins by force.

This study by Mark Liburkin(1910-1953) is a great example of a defensive idea to remember as it might happen in a practical game. It seems White is lost because of two black pawns, but there is a way to draw.

Today's #SundayTactics is a very beautiful combination by Robert Fischer against Samuel Schweber, played in Buenos Aires 1970.
Black just played 22...e4 and was ready to exchange queens. He was surely surprised by the next move of White! Can you find it?

"My fascination for studies proved highly beneficial, it assisted the development of my aesthetic understanding of chess and improved my endgame play." - Vasily Smyslov.
Smyslov composed more than 150 studies over a period of 64 years. Will you try to solve one? #YourMove
Some positions only look simple, but in fact, need careful consideration. In this study by Dutch composer Harold van der Heijden, White is winning in a rather unconventional way.

It's the birthday of GM Tatiana Kosintseva, who is a two-time European Women's Champion and a three-time Russian Women's Champion. 🎉
Can you find how she finished this game against Alexandra Kosteniuk in Gaziantep 2012?

Alina Kashlinskaya did not take a medal at the 2020 Russian Women's Championship Superfinal, but her performance will be remembered because of a masterpiece combination that she executed in the game against Alisa Galliamova. Black to move!
