Dacha Tactics #118 - Silent dark!
Student Shimmy has the white pieces. The black king is surely getting feisty... to the naked eye it sits pretty on f4. Or does it? Color money is were ahead on light but behind on dark. Maybe just maybe we can rebuild dark and tie the noose around the wayward
Dacha Tactics #117 - Pathway to light heaven!
Our Caro Kann has been a massive success. The white king is hanging on by a thread! Note how color money is equal but neither side has a light bishop. If we can overtake light, that might just be the end. Everyone should join the light party! Interact with the
Dacha Tactics #116 - Golden bishop shining bright
This was a cool position that arose from a healthy "Cheesecake dacha". My bishop pair rakes the board and the black king is under fire. Note we have a golden light bishop, and +$500 light money. Find the light knockout! Interact with the puzzle below. If you get
Dacha Tactics #115 - Abe turner - dark scorpion tail!
Here Mr. Turner is up an exchange, although White has some pawns as compensation. The rook is 750 light / 750 dark while the light bishop is 1000 light. How do we use our dark advantage? It's a nice blend of precise calculation with a color guide along the

Dacha Tactics #114 - Abe Turner - oozing dark
Recently I saw some positions from the legendary Abe Turner, a very strong player from the 50s and 60s. Here Mr. Turner has a golden dark bishop and White's weak dark squares around the king make for a delicious meal. Our own king isn't too great
Dacha Tactics #113 - All the players participate in the dacha!!
A cool position I just had in a tournament in Boston. The position is delicate and tense and the color money is equal. When we look closely, it becomes apparent that light is a key battle – e6 is somewhat weak and pressured by White's rooks. And the light
Dacha Tactics #112 - Golden light bishop doing magic
An incredible idea from a student's game. We are down a queen but white's king is naked. We also have a golden light bishop lurking and ready. Rxf4 is natural but runs into Qb8 check picking up the rook. Can our golden light bishop help make
Dacha Tactics #111 - Silent light!!
A cool puzzle I came across, the idea is to form a mating net for black's king. We are up a piece, a golden dark bishop – let's look to use our inherent dark and to infuse with light energy of all our pieces! Rooks, pawns, king.

Dacha Tactics #110 - Dark chocolate ... with a hint of light caramel
A cool position I saw from a game by Levy Rozman aka "Gothamchess". White's king is under fire and not all that content. Color money? It's our Golden dark bishop vs white's knight. Which means we are ahead on dark, but behind
Dacha Tactics #109 - Queen acts as...
The black king is naked, his forces are sleeping and the end is near! Color money is our golden dark bishop vs his knight, meaning we are +500 dark but behind on light. How to replenish our light and weave a mating net? Interact with the puzzle below. If you
Dacha Tactics #108 - Charlotte's light web
An interesting endgame I came across. Color money is +500 light, -500 dark. The agile knight and its light potential may very well pose issues for the limited white king. That and some dark bricks could be the end! How to tie the noose? Interact with the puzzle below. If

Dacha Tactics #107 - Queen goes back to acting school.
A fairly straightforward position with some color pizazz! White is looking to weave a mating net around the hapless king. He sits on light – how to complete the light dacha? Interact with the puzzle below. If you get stuck, you can always click the "lightbulb" icon in the

Dacha Tactics #89 - rarest of rare -- dark Dacha stairway to heaven!
I just came across this position and it is a beautiful one. The black king is a sitting dark duck on a1 but for now it seems mostly safe. Clearly the goal will be to lock up the black king with the knight, bishop – and hopefully the king. Let'
Dacha Tactics #84 - Dark investments paying light dividends
This was an interesting game of mine. Our king seems a bit safer than his , what with his dark weaknesses and the slight delay in castling. Also note on the queen side how our knights are in party mode and our dark bishop is enjoying the dark pressure. Color money
