Nice demonstration of sacrifice ...

... and opening the right lines. Great way to finish a real game!

Nice...

Another easy game study but has some good themes...always obvious with the first move check..would be nice to see a study that doesn't use it...however,forcing moves and knowing they're there always gives some tang to the position..and good practice..
