We have added 4 new color-themed Dacha tactics since our last newsletter! Have you been keeping up with your sparring practice?

If you haven't been keeping up, here's an interesting tactic that we call "Truly Coming Around the Mountain!!"

IM Yaacov's Hint: This was a cool battle vs Canadian GM Mark Bluvshtein with a truly unique finish. The game started with a juicy Budapest. We're far down material, but his king is on its last legs.

Not a Dacha Harmony or Dacha Tactics Club member? Well, this week's free tactic is an oldie, but goodie. Try to solve "Capablanca dreams big for the golden bishop."

Hint: Black is doing well here. More space, 2 bishops, and a very compact position. How to form a plan? Let's begin with colors naturally! The imbalance is that black has a light bishop for the white knight. This means we are ahead on light. As a bonus -- this is a Golden Bishop. So let's dream big for this bishop...it's locked up now-- where would we love it to be? Once we have this dream, we can aspire to make it happen.... Click here to see if your solution is correct!
