This weeks puzzle:
This weeks puzzle comes from an excellent game that Alan Young played in the Northumberland league game this February. Alan playing white has a nice position. His heavy pieces control the centre. Blacks pieces are not only passive but also his king is weak and there’s a pawn weakness on d6. Find the winning move that sealed the win for white in a few moves.
You can find the answer and the full game here.
Well done Alan!
