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

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!
