About Master vs Master

These puzzles come from games where both players are masters, resulting in positions of particularly high quality. The tactics in master games tend to be more precise and require deeper justification than average. Studying master vs. master positions is one of the best ways to calibrate your understanding of what correct, principled chess looks like.

How to use these puzzles

Study the position carefully before moving any pieces. Try to find the best move on your own, then click on the piece you want to move and select the target square. Use the Hint button if you get stuck. After solving the puzzle, use the Next Puzzlebutton in the Current Turn card to practice another position from this theme.
