What is the Top 10 Chess blog about ?

Hi everyone,
This blog is aimed at those who want to train and solve chess positions.
Tactic puzzles will be offered on these pages.


It is often said that chess is 99% tactics and we hope to illustrate that here,

following Chess Grandmasters such as Tal, Kasparov, Adams,etc.

We will start with tactical tests but the goal is always to find the best move in any given situation, regardless of the aim ( winning material, checkmate,draw, etc).

Each month will feature 10 positions, hence the name of the blog.
The reader can try to solve each diagram, then compare with the provided solution,
and rate herself/himself from 1 to 10 every month.

Any feedback welcome !
