Greetings players and fellow patzers π
So I'm playing a 'Major' section this weekend, got 2 more games tomorrow.
I'm not doing very well... but I wanted to show the positions where I lost the plot.
As the title suggests, "spot the threat"... it is something we should all be doing throughout our games.
Game 1 - Neil Oddie (125) vs Zak Tomlinson (149)
I've had a historically poor record in round 1, this was no exception.
In a typical(!) Ruy Lopez we reached this position after 23 moves:
It is Black to play.
What is White threatening?
What should Black do?
Two more to follow...
