1) Lots
of possibilities here. What would
you choose?

give yourself credit if you figure
out some serious details!

appears to have a problem with his
King. Is he doomed?

Can White take advantage of this?

5) This
was given as a game from 1892 (Sieg – Gorlitz),
but I’ll only believe that when
I see the earlier moves. In the meantime
I’m forced to conclude that this
is a made up composition. White wins,
but how?

6) Black
has kingside space but white prefers
to think of it as “kingside weaknesses.” How
would you handle this position as Black?

can try 1.g4 here. Is this a good idea?
Come up with details to support your
yea or nay verdict.

8) Does
White have anything here? If so, he
better prove it right now!

9) This
is one of those “get his King
before he gets mine” kind of
positions. Can White successfully strike
first?
WHITE
TO MOVE
10) White
has a couple ways to win. However,
one is far better than any other. Thus:
be accurate!
