10 queenside attacks rated between 800 and 999, averaging 949. 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.
Queenside attacks are usually slower and more structural than kingside ones — the tactics arrive once a file opens or a minority attack creates a weakness.
These are pitched at 800-rated players. Puzzle ratings work like player ratings: a puzzle rated 800 is one that players around 800 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.
