SPR Apr 2021 12:03pm, 30 Apr 2021 34,069 posts	0 SPR I used to look at chessgames.com puzzles a few years back and they have days where it will be easy and others where it's harder (want to say it gets harder progressively over the week but might be misremembering).
SPR Apr 2021 12:05pm, 30 Apr 2021 34,070 posts	0 SPR Just went on there and I did remember correctly. Monday is "very basic", Sunday is "almost impossible"

jda Apr 2021 12:59pm, 30 Apr 2021 9,956 posts	0 jda I used to do chessgames.com but rarely look at it now. The weekly progression is a good feature but I've got enough chess on my plate!

JulesR May 2021 10:24pm, 25 May 2021 26,228 posts	0 JulesR Yes spot on, turns a -1 into a +1. Simple tactic which opp missed & regretted after, as if it had been a winning manoeuvre. It probably was at Brian level, wasted on me as I was oblivious to it.
