Usually I try to put games into posts but even such mundane posts as entry lists are getting alot of views. The posts featuring theory remain unpopular even though I work quite hard on them. The conclusion must sadly be less theory and more games with bios/pics.
Overall
Every Tuesday is a TWIC day so there will be a fresh batch of news to report on tomorrow.

The position is complicated. Black’s king is safe for now hiding in front of white’s b-pawn. But what about white’s king? Is white attacking for defending? How do you play?
