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 dark bishop. Also, do note our light pawns would love to expand onto dark. So far, there are 2 pawns - but an omelette dacha should absolutely be a 3-egg minimum. Let's look for the dark opportunities!! This one isn't easy, but it is very satisfying and instructive.

An interesting battle from a recent blitz game. After a rocky middle game, I'm down a piece for 2 pawns. The good news is our harmony is quite nice with a golden light bishop and plentiful mini dark bishops. Blacks king is on light and both his knights

Dacha Tactics #145 - Golden light bishop has its say

An intense game played against strong GM Vasif Durabeyli. We are +1000 light and -1000 dark. Our golden bishop on f3 is hungry indeed and on the prowl for something juicy. Let's dig deep for the light knockouts!
