                                                           White to play  The first position I want to show is from Chinmay Kelaskar vs Jai Pradhan game....White has all sorts of attack on the king. Most white's pieces are actively taking part in the attack...Black king does not have a proper defender except the bishop on g7.In the game black made the previous move h6 which was a mistake.... White played Nxh6 and won !! but there is a better continuation....Can you find it out ? Second game is also from the same player Chinmay..and he is black this time...Can you find out what he played in the game ?

Attack on the king

                                                                Black to play The position occured from King's Indian Defence where White just won a rook in the corner, but carelessly let the black pawns advance on the kingside, and so he is about to feel the pain! How can Black punish white ? How will Black start the attack ?

I have posted a lot of positions here.So I decided to take some rest, stop posting and concentrate on my game...I tried to solve many position..did some routine work and came to facebook. My friend asked me to come on chesscube..I told him that I will be there within five minutes I logged my chesscube account after many days..My friend was not online there so I decided to play some games against some one else !. Here is the position I got in the game after a few moves. Lets have a look Black to play The time control was 5 minutes each..And White just wasted his move with 13.Kh1?? Just look at the black pieces my all pieces are well played and such waste moves are looking for some big trouble..I agree black's king has not castled yet so I decided to castle first Pinning the knight of d2..So my first question here is what would happen if white takes the bishop by 14.hxg4. Can you find without watching below analysis ? But my opponent didn't play this move.I gues
