TACTICS TRAINING GAME 1 -- James Kozaczuk vs Jonas Carpenter

Three Puzzles!

This was the final round game in the Autumn Grand Prix I. Both James and Jonas were undefeated -- winner becomes section champ.

All three positions are from the game. Look at each position and find the move that wins material. To find the answers, play over the full game itself at the bottom.

THE FULL GAME, AND SOLUTIONS:

Here's another example of the "pin reversal" trick. It's a known trap in the Sicilian Defense, Smith-Morra Gambit. (Which is full of traps for White to set for Black!)
