blitz chess #1: impite - herrahuu

Some live chess plus brushing up my openings @ ICC:

Blitz #1 herrahuu - carusospaskoski

I spent last days working on tactics only and this seems to pay off here. I go through my just finished game in realtime so that the move times mirror actual game.

Tactics against 1490 player.

After so many years it becomes apparent that tactics is the biggest gap between me and average of better players. I dabbled the longest time around same rating in blitz untill I spent more time in tactics and the differernce is huge.Here I had shot white with some accurate moves and here I have a really nice finish that will destroy white.

Do you see it?

Black to move

Winning idea for black?

This position arose in 5 minute blitz game of mine. It's black to move with funny motif.

Nice mate in 2.

Run my future snailbucket.org tournament opponents game through Komodo 8 and in one of the analysed positions found this cute mate.

White to move

Two queens cooperation

Here's a nice demonstration how queens cooperate. How does white mate black fastest?
