Have you been staying sharp? Test out your Dacha skills with "Extreme Dark Faith." IM Yaacov's hint: There is a lot of chaos, but one of the clear themes is our golden dark bishop breathing down the white king's neck, most noticeably on g3 and h2. We can feel confident that something juicy awaits us!! Let's put the Queen, Rook, and golden dark bishop trio to work!

Free Tactic!
Here's an oldie, but goodie – "Cracking Naroditsky with Strict Cheesecake Dark Dacha." IM Yaacov's hint: A juicy, smooth cheesecake has arisen. Where to look for plans? Well, the color money is equal. However, there are some weak dark squares in question – and with black's bishop on g7 relatively sleeping, our dark bishop on a3 is ready to pounce!
