Decisions in chess

Choosing between two continuations. Eternal dilemna. Three positions to test your instinct when it comes to avoid or spot tactical tricks...

Position 1: White to play















Choose between:
1Bf7+
or 1.Qe6+ followed by 2.Rf7


Position 2: White to play















Choose between
1.Qe7 or
1 Qf5+

(Krasenkow-Cvitan 1997)
















Choose between
1 h3 or
1 Qb7

(Korchnoi-Spassky 1977)
