  1. I enjoyed the opportunity to look for “zwischenzugs” in this video. The memory idea “chess is not checkers” will be with me for a very long time. I especially liked the endgame technique illustrated in one of the final positions. This is a really excellent lesson.

  2. Hello Waldemar,

    I have some remarks to your exercises:
    Diagram 1: black’s move and solution is white’s move.
    Diagram 3: g8/R is mate. I know this position there has to be a bishop on g7 square and not a white pawn.
    Diagram 5: Variation: 1. … Re2 2. Qf4 cxd5 -+. Maybe some beginners overlock that Qb6 protects Bf6 after
    capturing Bd5. x-ray protection.

    Best regards,
    Alex
