*Disclaimer - Some of the problems have multiple solutions. However, I will give the solution that I feel is an easier pattern to recognize or better technique. Further, depending on the level of difficulty, sometimes I will not give the optimal response to try to imitate human play. If you click the move list and solution, sometimes I will insert alternate moves and explanations (check and see). I welcome discussion and feel free to ask or answer a person's question on the message boards! *
Hope you enjoy!
Chessfully,
Pete
