Black Hangs On

I've gone deep down a rabbit hole on this one.  

It gets way deep, but it illustrates fighting back in a potentially losing position.  I think that this is instructive.

I got started down this path because the computer said that I made the wrong move.  However, I didn't realize just how deep the analysis would get.

Re: Improve Your Chess Tactics

I have uploaded to the website at least a couple of dozen changes to the tactics problems.   Many of these are cosmetic, but I have also fixed a few errors.  

I added one or two new problems.

White to Play

This would seem to be too deep for mere mortals, but not for a world champion.  This was played in 1895, one year after Steinitz lost the world championship to Lasker.

I could see Hikaru Nakamura playing something like this.  The weird thing is that he would see it all the way through.

BTW, decades ago I watched Hikaru Nakamura as a child playing in a blitz tournament in Las Vegas.  He beat a grandmaster.
