Tactics: Knight March Madness

This week's Canadian Tactic comes from this week's Final Four. Black's Ns are dancing up a storm, and his last move 27...Nb4 sets up another threat.
The GM playing White couldn't find the best defence, can you?

GOTW : Bator Sambuev vs Olivier-Kenta Chiku-Ratte

This week's game was played in the 4th round of the Quebec Carnaval Tournament, where tournament leader and eventual winner GM Bator Sambuev built up a promising attack against FM Olivier-Kenta Chiku-Ratte, before rushing with a piece sacrifice that could have backfired. Black chooses the wrong continuation and immediately gets punished. Enjoy!

Tactics: How much for that Bishop on h6?

This week's Canadian Tactic comes from GM Anton Kovalyov's first round game at the 2015 World Open. White has just played Rf3-h3 to chase away Black's Bh6. What should Black do?
