SPOT ON CHESS PUZZLES for SATURDAY, April 15th of 2023

So today we take a look at the current chess record of results between our two World Chess Champion candidates - Ding Liren and Ian Nepomniachtchi - which stands at 14 wins for the Russian Talent to Ding Liren's 10 wins with 19 draws between them. Quite a lot of fighting chess! This includes the first four games of the current World Chess Championship Match between them both.

In this installment of SPOT ON CHESS PUZZLES we will look at some tactics taken from just a few of their previous encounters - games played before the current World Chess Championship Match. We will also briefly look at two rapid play games from an online event where they repeated the Berlin variation of the Spanish Defense. Interesting stuff...

I hope you enjoy today's games and tactical puzzles! Looking forward to the next game for this match as it should be quite an interesting one based upon the drama that has occurred thus far. Hopefully you can tune in and be there on the cyberspace square! Have a great weekend ~ Sean.
