Tactics Tuesday

10/21/25

I thought what a better way to encourage engagement is by providing a weekly tactics puzzle for you all. Some of these you will have seen. Most hopefully will be new to you. Some of these will be easy and some will be hard. Tough to say which will come when of course. That is indeed the fun of it and really we never know what is coming in a throws of a chess game anyways. I wanted to potentially start easier in the month and then get harder but, that seemed like a lot more work than I wanted to account for at this time. So instead, I decided to post whatever interesting puzzle I come across in my own chess improvement cycle I thought might be worthy of discussion or comment

Black to Move:

Hint: the most obvious move might not be the way.
