The March clinic is out and is still devoted to online games. With the UK's lockdown gradually being eased there should be a resumption of normal chess activity before too long, which many players are looking forward to.

Here's one episode from this latest clinic in which Black had gained the advantage from one of my opening recommendations and now delivered the killer blow. What did he do here (see diagram)?

Black to play unleashed 29…Rxd4!, the point being that after 30.cxd4 he delivers mate with 30...Qh3+ 31.Kg1 Nf3# (0-1).

The members clinic is one of many features available to standard and premium members, with premium members also getting access to the clinic archive from 2014.
