Position from the book Positional Attacks
The position is by Life Master Joel Johnson, who just released his new book " Positional Attacks " In the position below it is White to move . Joel writes: The following game is an excerpt from my new book, "Positional Attacks". The book was released on February 28, 2014. Fatal Weakness Just one weak square in your opponent's defensive stronghold can give rise to a terminal attack. The ability to manufacture and/or identify existing weaknesses in your opponent's position is a lethal skill to possess. The moves are easy to see if your eyes can easily spot the weakness in the Black position.

Chess Mentor from chess.com
Hello readers , Here is the link to the FREE courses of Chess.com, made by renowned coaches mostly by IM Danny Rensch and IM Bryan Smith. The system is via what they call “Chess mentor” which is a tool comparable to reading an annotated PGN in any reader (i.e. CB) but in here you need to solve question by question by moving, so you train, and the server keeps track of all the lessons done, the percentage of correctness, the progress and so on, assigning you a rating for this matter. One needs to register and setup an account with them first, which is also FREE, in https://www.chess.com/register , so the course with all the exercises is activated. I would recommend this for anybody from beginner to below 2000, but if u are that or above, maybe you can learn something too, who knows, otherwise you just skip all you know and forward to the next theme as I did. The topics are as follow, sorted by level Beginner: Checkmate Beginner: Tactics Beginner: Openings Beginner: Endgames In
