On problem 1074 of first circle. 51 to go.
These 3-4 star problems are just as much about planning as they are about tactics.
Spent some time playing on the internet this week instead of solving problems. I feel I'm playing at a reasonable level.

A very cool interference position & Celebration
White to Move has no solution to effectively combat both Qxe4+ or Rxf1 + . I'm calculating out Qx e3 Rxf1+, Kg2 Qxe4,Qxe4 Rg1 / Qxe3 Qxe4(is this forced ?), rxf1 kg1
lines to see if they are losing to mate or just losing the queen initially.
An interesting position.
from Onos vs Yuchtman
Yes and Celebration! I hit tactic 1000 in my first circle of Sharpen Your Tactics (125 to go)

Observe First than Calculate!
This problem is not hard if one were first to determine that this is a Limited Mobility weakness vs an immediate checkmate problem. I missed this completely. The lesson is to observe before calculating!
