A picture of a Chess sandcastle.
What I did in a submarine in the 1980's.
Three Queen sacs ending in a corridor mates.
A Book Review (well kind of) Rocking the Ramparts.
A New Opening Trap with Prof.Natterjack (give it a try)
A fresh Assassin Pawn Mate.
Pawn Fork Trick Blunders.
Simply loads of stuff all backed up with RHP examples:
Iceland has had a record 31 cm of snow in one day today, if it lasts until the 4th January I'll build a snow chess piece then (it may not be a knight though, that is beyond my artistic ability). Happy New Year 🙂
I began my chess life as a big fan of John Nunn, and patterned my black opening repertoire after him- sort of like an 8 year old who finds his Dad's liquor cabinet unlocked, with roughly the same result!

No, that wasn't a Master. That was one of my recent wins.
It was relatively easy to see the mate in 5 with most of the pieces on excellent squares. More difficult and challenging are the sacs where you can't calculate the immediate outcome.
