SPOT ON CHESS PUZZLES for WEDNESDAY of April 19th, 2023. DINGED AGAIN?

Welcome back!

So in Game 7 Ding was unable to play a sharp position accurately as he ran short of time… and his position fell apart as the last of the sands of time were slipping past his grasp. In game 8… you’ll just have to wait and see what happened in this game as it will be played this Thursday! Rest day for today - Wednesday.
Three tactical puzzle warm up positions to start us off today. Black to play and Slay… and as always solution explanations given. One featuring a song that I rather agree with and found to be an interesting listen so you get to listen to that if you so choose while the solution is played out upon the board. Hope you enjoyed today’s tactics! As long as you learned from them after you gained that benefit through your efforts at solving. Right or wrong the effort is everything!
