wk 2023 Daily Chess Championship - Round 3 wk

Good Morning Chess Players!

It was the strangest round I played in Daily Chess Championship so far. I lost one game on time and had really poor position in 7 others. Then suddenly multiple disqualifications happened and finally I advance to round 4. 

While this round also have some tactics (not so much as previous), here you can find the most interesting fragments from my games. I presented them in the form of 10 puzzles with solution.

I encourage you to solve all of them.

If you prefer you can solve also all these puzzles on YouTube:
