SPOT ON CHESS PUZZLES For TUESDAY June 13th of 2023: Chess isn’t always Black and White.

Chess isn’t always Black and White…

And that is half of the fun! Winning a tactical slugfest or scoring an undeserved win by “cheapo” are two of the biggest thrills most amateurs get out of chess. Even a
“Professional” loves the thrill of winning. And so today we look at a game from super tournament New York 1924 where Frank Marshall goes toe to toe with fellow tactician Bogoljubow. Enjoy the fireworks!

Game given down below.
