Sunday’s winning 5-second tactics

As the day progresses I will add more examples. Good luck!

———————————–

Peterwitz, Klaus  (2125)

fm  Kummerow, Heiko  (2273)

Munnsterland Open; Senden, Deutschland 2014.10.14 Position after 19 moves. A position with a pawn structure similar to lines in the CaroKhan and/or Scandanavian. Black has castled Queenside but has not reacted well in the centre, opening lines prematurely and giving White the opportunity to develop an attack that turns out to be unstoppable.  Do you see the idea?

WHITE TO PLAY AND WIN!
