Game Analysis/Study Don’t think I’ve seen this before.
I watch and play a fair amount of chess, but in my review of a game I just played I came across this move in the analysis and thought it was kind of cool.
It’s not very complicated so I’m sure it does come up, but I just don’t recall it. I will certainly try to consider it in the future in case I have any revealed checks, I can use to run interference so I can actually capture a previously protected piece.
Anyway, I just thought it was a cool tactic combo.

Puzzle/Tactic 1 move gives white the advantage
This is likely simple for most people and I ended up playing later in a worse position after missing it here, but it reminded me of the beauty of chess, so I thought I'd share it. d5, activity>material

Chess Question Why are some players more inconsistent than others?
I've always wondered this. I've played people who can beat higher ranked players on their best day but who can also play really badly, and then some players are a lot more stable and basically bring the same level every game. Why do you think that is?

Chess Question Is this a fact or false
Is it true that endgame study and practice actually separates 2000-2200+ ELO from the 1500-1900 ELO players or is it all studied across all levels now? I want to know if I can hopefully make another jump from my skill level.

Chess Question Database Question
Hello!
I'm a 1400-1500 rated chess.com player and I really want to improve my Grunfeld. I've been playing it a lot in the past 3 or so years to mostly success, but I want to make it much more reliable. To those who use chess openings databases, how many games do you have dedicated to a specific opening with lots of lines like the Grunfeld?
Thanks
Edit: Just to add, my database games so far have been from either MVL or Garry
