                                                                      White to play This is the position I was looking during my practice sessions.Its white to move and looks as if it should be winning.Your task is to  find the candidate moves as you do in the game and calculate all the lines possible till the end also try to evaluate the final position.If you know this position before try  to find why other moves are not working..I t could be a good exercise.Please don't tell me you got the correct answer on the first attempt.Its very hard unless you know the position or the correct idea..Try to post how and why your move is the best.All the best !!

                                                            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]

The position I want to show is from the recent games of U-9 states held at Aurangabad White to play Here in this position Black has just played his knight to e4 attacking the White's queen..Now the queen is under attack and have to move on a safe square..But the question here is which square..Calculate all the possibilities and comment below

(Position after Black's Rh6) Its my game against Kahane Bhavesh..I was having white pieces and was exited with the fact that Black's king was still in the center,so my basic enctint was to attack some how on the king.I made some premature moves in order to attack his king before..After thinking I released that Black has a threat of Rg6 hitting my g2 pawn..And it would be helped by the monster of b7                      I played the terrible move Na5??? putting the knight on rim without thinking as I wanted to swap the bishop first. Now its Black to play Black has a long think of 20 minutes and played the move which I didn't calculated..Can you guess what I missed in the game..and calculate all the variations?? My opponent played that move but didn't continue correctly..Can you do better than my opponent ?? 

This position is from my game against Vijay Pangudwale.I am having the Black pieces. The game was a blitz format so there was not much time to think...So you could understand the tension between us..Both players were having time pressure..So the quality of the game was not so high.. Its Black move... My question is Is ...f6 winning the pawn on f4 or not ? Please comment your answers with your full analysis
