Black to play
Black to play This position is better for Black. All his pieces are in a position for a attack . White's pieces are not defending the position properly .There is no one except the bishop to defend the white's majesty.Most major pieces are on the other side of the board. How will you teach White a lesson???
Attacking the king for beginners
White to play Its White's move. All White's pieces are placed on their optimum squares for an attack on Black's king, Black has just played the dubious move g5?! Can you punish Black for his mistake..Please post your calulations with variations
Should White Resign ?
White to Play In this position white seems to be lost as he cannot play Qd5+ as after Kh8 white will loose a piece and on Nxd5 Black will take the pawn on f2 followed by Qg3 which will be winning for him...So the question remains. Is White lost ? Should he resign ? [position for advanced beginners]
