I haven't posted a blog in a long time, and I wanted to record this position somewhere, so I'm dropping it here as a puzzle.
The continuation in the puzzle is from the game continuation. Tougher defenses from black are given in the movelist.
Welcome to my blog! In the USCF I am rated 1921.
The content posted here is from my real chess experience, either games I've played or observed. I'll try to put an instructive twist on it. So if you're looking for a glimpse into how a B player thinks about the game, check in and see what I've got. Well, recently my rating has gone over 1800, so perhaps I should list myself as class A instead of class B, but it's not a huge difference.
