SPOT ON CHESS PUZZLES for SATURDAY, April 8th of 2023 "The Irregulars ORANGUTAN"
SOCP 04082023 The Irregulars ORANGUTAN.
Oh boy... this one is way long! Hope to keep them down to 10 minutes in length starting Monday. Sunday's will be another long lesson as well. Too easy to get lost in these games and my many chess memory lanes!
Two games in the Orangutan - 1. b4 opening. 4 Puzzle warm up and a bonus puzzle. Enjoy'em!
For completeness I have included both of today's games down below. As always: SPOILER ALERT! Do not play over the games until after you have watched the video! You get better for the effort you put into your area of focus... only then will solutions make sense.
