Tactics Tuesday: FIDE World Rapid & Blitz, Pt. 9 (Shankland, Dominguez, and So)

Today's Tactics Tuesday continues a multi-week feature on the 2024 FIDE World Rapid & Blitz Championships, held December 26 through 31 in New York. Our coverage of the rapid and blitz events focused on the winners, but several dozen Americans competed and many gained rating and delivered some nice upsets. So, we'll be taking a look at their games for the next few weeks!

This week's puzzles feature FIDE World Rapid & Blitz games from Saint Louis Chess Club regulars GMs Leinier Dominguez, Wesley So, and Sam Shankland. These three annual participants in the U.S. Championship all had some nice moments in New York, particularly So, who made it to the semifinals of the Blitz knockout portion.
