Attacking Chess Puzzle of the week - 2010-07-01
Answer to last weeks Puzzle:
1...Bxh3 starts an attack on White's king. If White ignores the threat then Black will followup with 2...Bxg2++. If White plays 2. gxh3 then 2...Qxh3 3. Qh2 Qxh2++.
White would try sacrificing his Queen for a Rook and Bishop - but this failed because the Rook on d1 is hanging. 2. Qxf2 Qxf2 3. gxh3 Qf3+ with a fork on the King and the Rook.
2. Qh2 is another try but it fails to 2...Rxg2 3. Qxd6 Rxa2 and the discovered check wins.

Attacking Chess Tactical Puzzle of the week
Studying tactics is a great way to improve ones game. I will be studying them about an hour and a half a week and I will share ones that I enjoy. I will post the tactic and then one week later after everyone has had a chance to discuss what the answers are I will post the answer with the next weeks tactic. Hopefully this will prove to be fun and interactive. If anyone has a tactic from their own game or one they like feel free to send it to me and I will share it.
Below is a tactic that I found interesting during the last week.
Here is the FEN string for those who wish to import it.
FEN: 2b2Nk1/7p/p2n2p1/1pNP4/7q/2PB3P/P4rP1/3R2QK b - - 0 1
