Here are a few more puzzles, from the same tournament in 2022- I tied for second in my section after working hard on my tactics in the days leading up to the tournament.
This next game was played in the penultimate round. I was taking a bye in the last round, so I knew I needed to play for a win. I believe my opponent is now a strong expert, just over two years after this game.
It's been a while since I've been on the chess.com forums, but I'm going over some old games during the Christmas break, and I felt like sharing some puzzles from my games. A few years ago, I made a "Class C Tournament Tactics" thread with tactics from my games when I was rated 1400-1600 USCF, and people seemed to like those puzzles, so here are a few more recent puzzles. All of these are from games that I played when I was rated between 1800 and 2000 USCF (I'm currently just over 1900). I might also add some tactics from games that my peers have played later. Enjoy!
This move brought me my only win against a living legend of our club- our lifetime series stands at one win each with a bunch of draws.
