New ChessKillerTips Channel on YouTube




Today on my new Youtube channel -
youtube.com/chesskillertips I published a podcast with the solution to the study of Troitzky that I posted a few days ago here.

Try to solve it on your own, then when you think you have the answer, you can check it right away by pressing play! The video is only 5 minutes and is very instructive.

Hint: If you know the famous chess study by Saavedra you will have an easier time. ;-)

You can also follow the official Twitter account @chesskillertips for updates on new episodes.

Nice chess study by Troitzky


Here is a very nice study by Alexey Troitzky of 1924 that I really enjoyed. It's White to move. It's quite difficult so don't lose heart if you can not solve it. In one week I will make a new episode of chesskillertips with the answer to this study.

By the way, I have never heard about a female chess composer. If you know any, please let me know.
