MSK Chess's video: Tactics from US Chess Championship ladies 2017

Did you get the chance to follow the US ladies Championships 2017? was pretty awesome! The eventual winner Sabina Francesca Foisor finished her game with a beautiful mate in eight and young US hopeful Jennifer Yu had an outstanding tournament despite being outranked in points by many seasoned competitors, some of them bona fide Grandmasters in their own right. I dunno what it is, perhaps as an amateur player its simply easier to relate to ladies chess with its slightly less accurate play in comparison to the mens events or perhaps its their humanity, their friendliness that makes it so refreshing. Perhaps i am just a sucker for a pretty girl with brains? I dunno. The video details some of the tactical shots played during the games. The viewer is asked to pause the video and see if they can solve the tactics for themselves with an explanation to follow. The end credits are a fans tribute to all the ladies that took part in the event and I provide it in the hope that more will get to know these chess artists and follow ladies chess as enthusiastically as I do. images are in the public domain although some have been altered to fit youtube perspective. music is form my favourite band - the Leftovers check them out. https://soundcloud.com/the-leftovers-3/sets/cover-by-the-leftovers msk chess: https://www.facebook.com/msk.chess https://www.chess.com/blog/robbie_1969/tactics-from-us-championship-2017-ladies chess, echecs , ajedrez , xadrez , shahmati , szachy , sjakk , schach , schaken , satranj , шахматы , شطرنج
