This week's Canadian Tactic comes from the 2015 Quebec Open.
White to play according to the cliché of your choice: "Passed pawns must be pushed" or "Do not hurry".

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?

This week's Canadian Tactic comes from round 2 of the RA Chess Club Championship. White has a lead in development and more aggressively posted Bishops, while Black's position could hardly look more passive. But it's Black to move, and if White overlooks a tactic he'll lose a piece in two moves.

This week's Canadian Tactic comes from the first round game between Canadian WIM Qiyu Zhou and US GM Gata Kamsky at the 2015 North American Open.
Black has just played 62...Bb6 setting up deadly threats all over the board. Is White doomed, or does she have a draw?
