Congrats on perfect papers today from Michaela, Joseph, and Donald!
Problem 7 was the most often missed. If you play 1.a8(Q)+ Kb3 then 2. QxQ it's stalemate!
Therefore 1. a8(R)+! Kb3 2.RxQ
Things you should have learned today:
TACTICS (HURDLE)
1.Two big pieces in a line?
Look Out! It's hurdle time!
2. Instead of looking for your own moves first, look for weaknesses in your opponent's positions - in particular, look for two big pieces in a line.
3. When planning a move, first figure out where your opponent wants to move, then DON'T LET HIM DO IT! If he can never make the good move he wants to make, it's going to be hard for him to beat you.
STRATEGY (PAWNS MOVES)
4. Pawn moves can never be retracted, so be careful when advancing pawns.
5. Every pawn move opens and closes highways on the board. Make sure you open highways for your pieces and close highways for your opponent's pieces.
6. Don't put all your pawns on the same color square - there are weaknesses on the other color.
