10 kingside attacks rated between 2000 and 2199, averaging 2063. Each position below is from a real game, with the solution given underneath — so you can check yourself immediately rather than guessing whether you were right.
Kingside attacks against a castled king follow a rhythm: open a file or diagonal, bring a third attacker, then sacrifice to strip the defenders. The puzzles here are the moment after the preparation is done.
These are pitched at 2000-rated players. Puzzle ratings work like player ratings: a puzzle rated 2000 is one that players around 2000 solve about half the time, so if you are getting most of these you should move up a band.
Solving from a page is good for pattern recognition but not for tracking progress. The rated puzzle trainer serves puzzles matched to your own rating and adjusts as you solve, and the Mistake Trainer builds puzzles from positions you actually got wrong in your own games.
