Positions from real games

Each one is a game somebody actually played. Pick any of them.

How these are found

We read the games grandmasters actually play and look for the ply where the game turned, rather than composing puzzles. The engine checks the answer before it reaches you, and the positions are ranked by how much they teach rather than how hard they are.
