Today I would like to share a nice email that I got from Eric King.
Tim's response:
Thanks Eric!
Glad that you like the 2015 Chess Calendar and were able to get a copy of the Tactics Time paperback!
Tactics Time 2 is coming out in paperback very soon - (January 7, 2015), http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/9056915371/tag=tacti-20 so I am really looking forward to that!
We have a few more calendars as well if anyone else wants to start the new year with one tactic per day! http://tacticstime.com/s/2015-daily-chess-calendar/
I appreciate all of the people who post games, and send me games. I could not do it without people such as yourself!
If anyone else wants to send me a game (or collection of games), please feel free to do so anytime. They don't have to contain "brilliant" tactics - the normal "meat and potatoes" tactics are great too!
Here is the game in PGN [Event "Europe"]
[Site "?"] [Date "1900.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Spiel"] [Black "Kunze"] [Result "0-1"] [ECO "A00"] [PlyCount "8"] 1. e3 e5 2. Qf3 d5 3. Nc3 e4 4. Qf4 Bd6 0-1 You can play through this game here: http://www.viewchess.com/cbreader/2014/12/27/Game517480167.html
Answer:
4.Bd6 traps the White Queen. This game cracked me up, and I found it amusing.
Happy Tactics!
