One move to win.

PuzzleAnalysisEndgameTactics
Four positions from my games where only one move wins.

Hello everyone! Here are four positions from my recent games with only one winning move, enjoy!

Most successful blogs on here have wayyyyy too much text to get across a very simple point. Some promoting garbage openings, poor chess habits to build, but here I will simply present you with four ~intermediate chess tactics. The first should be solvable in about a minute, the rest ~10 minutes each. But it depends on your level!

An easy warm-up puzzle from a recent 60+30 game in my event.
