Here is a new collection on “Dembo-rules”, themes and patterns from my dad’s blitz games (he always plays 2 minute blitz!).

An “easy, but nice” of the day

Black to move. Can you find the win?

Two days left till I travel to Khanty-Mansiysk :)

Another ordinary day it seems 🙂 with lots of lessons and it is difficult to imagine that in two days I will spend almost the whole day traveling to Khanty-Mansiysk for the Women’s World Championship!! Hopefully it will be a pleasant trip! 😀 Will try to update my blog with games and results as they come if internet doesn’t fail to work.

Very nice game by a 7 year old student :)

I’d like to present a miniature played by Stefan Musikic, my 7 year old student from Chicago some days ago in the All Grade Championship. Stefan is a 2nd grader. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I did! 🙂
