The subject says it all! After several attempts over several days I finally got a study completely correct!
Here it is…
You will find the solution at the bottom of this post, but I encourage you to spend ten minutes on it first, just like I did!
Since I heard Andrzej Krzywda on Perpetual Chess recently I have been following his advice and solving studies. Really the idea is just to immerse yourself into a position for a length of time (in this case ten minutes) and work on calculation.
I wrote about it a few days ago with this: https://ontheroadtochessmaster.com/solving-studies/
At that time, and until now, I hadn’t solved any completely correct, including any side variations, but finally that’s a thing of the past!
Let’s hope that this continues.
Til Next Time,
