Tactics from games of the world elite.

What is the super-gm puzzles?

Super-GM puzzles are drawn from games played by the very best players in the world — the 2700+ elite. Even at that level, mistakes happen, and these positions capture the moment one of them went wrong.

Why the super-gm puzzles matters

Seeing where the world's strongest players slip — and the punishment they faced — calibrates your sense of what a real, high-level tactic looks like. The patterns are the same as in your games; only the polish is higher.

How to use it to win

Treat these as your toughest sparring: the defences are accurate, so calculate carefully and respect every resource. Studying elite tactics also sharpens your feel for which positions are truly winning.
