Knight escapades
11/5/2015 Tactics can seem deceptively simple, particularly when seeing an
engine analysing grandmaster games. Strange, however, how difficult it is to find
the right move and to calculate variations properly when playing yourself. It is
easier if you solve tactical puzzles regularly. In the ChessBase Magazine and his
tactics column Oliver Reeh helps you to do so. [Discuss]

A good example of the process of elimination. Nxf7 and Bc4 are easily refuted, leaving only
Rxd5, which is otherwise fairly complicated to calculate. Of course, at the board, we would
have to consider more than the three possibilities given.
