Jayden's Chess Journal Edition #23

Joke of the Week

Did you hear about the Bishop who got laid off from his job?

He moved on (diagonally).

💡Puzzle #

How can White close out this game?

✅Solution

White has to sacrifice the Queen! White has to play Qxh6, Black has to recapture. Now White can play Rh1+. After this Black has to move the King back to g7 and then finally White can play Rh7+.

♟️Tip of the Week

Sacrifices are sometimes necessary, but make sure before you perform any big sacrifices especially of the Queen, to check the entire position and complex lines.
