Lesson of the Week

It is week two for one after school chess club, and week one for a chess class for home schoolers. Next week, chess club starts at a school I'm beginning to coach this year. Due to different ages and skill levels, most weeks I will need two problems of the week.

The easy one:

White to move



Slightly more difficult:

White to move

    First one I would play Bd5+ for winning the black rook.

    Second one looks easy also, Bd2 pinning the bishop to his king and gaining the c-pawn after few moves since whites connected passed pawns will keep the black king busy while I start chasing the black c-pawn.
