    So!
    What was your rating (1-10) for the first tactic - an oddly satisfying double piece silent sac?
    What was your rating (1-10) for the second tactic - an underdog positional EVERYTHING Move?
    What was your rating (1-10) for the third tactic - a forced long-term checkmate out of the opening?
    What was your rating (1-10) for the fourth tactic - an outrage destruction of a proud Grandmaster?
    let me knowwww :)

      For me the last one was the easiest because I just started playing last year and quit and just came back and I only look for checks in position and I accually calculated 2 lines which is good enough for me

    @davidschneide5422 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    12 is 33% more than 9, but 9 is 25% less than 12. It's a moot point, though, because the extra pawn makes it 13-9, which involves more calculations.

    Dear Zach,
    I dont intend to be rude or arrogant but i found 3 of the tactics(almost found the mate in 11) in less than 20 seconds
    But i cannot seem to apply them in my games
    My highest rating is 1500 , im currently 1350
    Can you please make a video about it or explain what to do?
    P.S : I am a big fan of your explanation in regards of tactical ideas ,could you make more videos like opening theories and middle game strategies fromyour own games.

      the first one was a really a silent Killer and i had a very big smile when i found it. I think its so difficult because it was not a forcing check sequence. And very nice idea with the Pin.
      9 Points.
      The second one somehow very easy to find. Have seen something like this before. But still nice 4 Points.
      The third was crazy. when you said its a forced mate in 11 i didnt even try. But the queen Sac was sick.
      The last one was very nice too. I somewhat found it. But i had another move order. I played rook d6 first in the last variation. and then went for the bishop scewer in the last variation. But 10 points . If i would find this in a real game . I would go crazy af.

    The first one was pretty good I found it (somehow) I would not in a game becouse of pressure issues but its a 8/10 The second one was a bit underwhelming in my opinion. As it was quite easy to see (tbh you propably should of seen it) 5/10 The third one was insane like how the frick did he find that ( did you ask if he had played a game exactly like it?) i found the queen sac but it was still very impressive 10/10 and the 4th one i found the whole thing in just two minutes!! but in a match its harder as here you know there is a tactic and there for look for it. But that was one of the cleanest puzzles i have ever seen. 11/10

    The third one is obviously cheater dude! 😂
    The fourth is very instructive and applicable, worth to remember, even if it's not that hard. Especially if you're playing in Witty Alien style who didn't afraid to sac, my instict was also to sac the bishop, I mean the opponent's King is exposed and you have active minor and major pieces that can give some checks. In an online blitz match I might also play that.
