Tactics Tuesday: All-American (Cup) Tactics

The 2024 American Cup begins today in St. Louis. The event is an excellent opportunity to follow some of the country's top players and maybe find a new favorite. Featuring an intriguing mixture of classical and rapid time controls, the event promises both intense battles and tactical blows. This is a great event to follow along with live commentary courtesy of the Saint Louis Chess Club, since many of the tactical ideas won't make it to the board. Here are a few "invisible" highlights from last year's event.
