Dacha Tactics #41 - another smooth dark knockout!

Here, the material is equal, with a slightly more compact pawn structure for black. And how's the color $? The imbalance is knight vs light bishop, which means we are behind on light but ahead on dark. This should serve us well on d4. Also, with the queens facing

Dacha Tactics #40 - smooth dark knockout!

An exciting position! Starting from a YaacAttack Stonewall , where white usually plays on light, the focus here seems to have switched to dark. The color $ will also guide us this way – knight vs his light bishop means that we are -500 light, but +500 on dark. If we take note,

Dacha Tactics #36 - dark and light.

Here we have an interesting position from one of my games. We're down a full rook but about to get some material back - plus a vicious dark attack! Is this enough to mate? Or do we need more...maybe some light tickle too?!
