And here is a video explaining the answers to the six positions from the last challenge post:

Alright, so on to challenge number fifteen! The puzzles for this week will be a bit different. A student that I’ve been teaching for a few years just won the u1800 section of a tournament recently with a 4-0 score (congrats!) and I wanted to highlight a few positions from his games for the challenges this week. The number of the puzzle and which side is to move is in the caption below each position.

#1 Black to move

#2 Black to move

#3 White to move

#4 White to move

Feel free to reply to this post in your email inbox or email me at chesschatter@substack.com with your answers. I will be posting the answers to these puzzles in the next challenge post.
