Circle 1 Completed
That was fun. I will work through the problems I got wrong before I move on to Circle 2. Some of the problems are trivial, but some tripped me up. I need to work a bit more slowly at this stage, focus on getting things right rather than getting it done fast. For instance, here is one I got wrong:
I put the correct first move as the first comment on the post.

Answer:
White trades a rook for a queen.
1. Rd8 Kxd8
2. Qxe4, taking advantage of black's
pinned knight.
What tactic is this? Perhaps pinning of the guard :)
Decoy into a pin based on another pin with the first pin making a bad guard.
I remember this one. (TCT?, Renko?)
Tempo, I'm using CTB for my Circles. This is problem #708.
I'm pretty sure I have seen it at Renko's Intensive course tactics I too.
There is a lot of overlap between the various problemsets.
Congrats on completing circle one. Your numbers are impressive.
PS
Thanks PS. It feels like I'm making progress.
I think my percentages will drop once I start doing the problems without the themes attached in Circle 2.

That's actually a pretty cute opening trap (looking at the Bronstein game it comes from)...I wonder how often you'd get people to play that line against you if you try it....I guess d5 might not be played all the time, but the rest of the moves look pretty natural. I'm definitely going to remember this and try it in blitz sometime.....and hopefully I remember this if anyone trys Qa4 against me in the center game.
