http://www.chessvideos.tv/chess-puzzle-of-the-day.phpWhite wins with a substantially worse material condition compared to Black. The lowly Pawn and weak Knight rein in Black making for a hopeless defense. An insidious trick!

2. Over the board, it's brilliant, |
|
but it isn't a very good puzzle, since the key move is an aggressive one.

3. Today's (a day after teh op) puzzle made me have to calculate. |
|
Yesterdays puzzle was about finding a check to black's king which couldn't move.
The first move of today's puzzle was exactly what I thought it was, but the follow ups had to be calculated. (Where is my aspirin?)

5. Tossup! but I will root for Vishy. |
|
I wonder if Anand will use 1.d4 again as he did vs. Kramnik, or go back to 1.e4
I hope to see some sicilian defenses on both sides. That would be great.
