Dacha Tactics #128 - Gentle dark nudge
A position I just played in a blitz game vs a strong GM. Material is equal, with some tactics in the air- my bishop and his knight are both under attack. Color money dictates that I am ahead on light with my bishop, and behind on dark due to his
Dacha Tactics #127 - Immortal 3 egg omelette breakfast dacha!
This battle happened during breakfast! And the resulting position resembled a fully loaded 3-egg omelette!! We are up a pawn. Color money is equal. Often in such positions, we want to look at which color we would like to replenish - here that would be dark, as we have no

Dacha Tactics #123 - Carlsen gets lost in the dark
This was a cool game I came across with Carlsen as the white pieces and the very strong GM Peter Svidler as the black. Carlsen is +1000 light, Svidler+1000 dark. Carlsen's last move was Qf5 (light!), but it leaves an opening to a crushing dark rejoinder. In
