Position 1
The queenless game is sharp as black has begun to undermine the kingside pawn wedge with 22...g6. What do you recommend for white?

White to Play

22...g6

Position 2
Black has a piece for two pawns and now the question is how to most accurately convert the material advantage as any hesitation will give white a chance to complicate the ending by quickly pushing the queenside passed pawns. What do you recommend for black?

Black to Play

28.c4
