This
is a page that will continue my teaching efforts on (& off) the Internet.
(I first had this idea back in July of 2001. I did not
create this web page until February, 2002.)
"Pawn Clusters ..."
I
have seen many games over the years. Sometimes just ONE GAME ...
more than any other vehicle, exemplifies a certain idea. These particular
games are absolutely the BEST
vehicles to express these ideas. This page
will
bring you those games ... or the links to those games, if I have already
annotated them. An outstanding idea, 11 games are here!!
-
Inept
development. - What is the price of Black mixing
ideas in the opening?
What happens when Black fails to develop his pieces QUICKLY and
EFFICIENTLY ... and with a plan? When he violates most (or
all) of the precepts
of correct opening play? A THOROUGHLY annotated game, for your enjoyment.
-
White
gets attacked, right out of the opening. - How does White play
seemingly
good moves, yet fall under a HUGE attack, right out of the opening? The
answers
will help you to become a better player!! Another DEEPLY annotated
game!
-
Mixing
ideas, preventing your opponent from developing. - How
do you
PREVENT your opponent from developing? What are the penalties for
MIXING
(different) IDEAS? Another thoroughly annotated game for your
enjoyment.
(Click HERE
to see this game in a js-replay format.)
-
The
HIGH PRICE of wasting tempo's. - Actually this game teaches
MANY things.
What is the cost of WASTING too much time in the opening? What is the best
way
to REFUTE a gambit? What is the effect of an IN-BETWEEN move?
(zwisch)
Would you like to know what the BEST lines are for Black in the Evan's
Gambit?
ALL of these questions are answered in this game. This is a VERY
thoroughly
annotated game for your enjoyment. With a small opening survey, too!
-
White
attacks the Black King. - What is the best and quickest
way to attack Black's
King? What are some of the VERY common THEMES and IDEAS that lead to a
quick attack on the Black King? A very entertaining attack in the French
Defense.
(A good game to study to sharpen your tactics. Also a very good game to
illustrate
the dangers of ALLOWING AN OPEN FILE AGAINST YOUR
CASTLED KING.)
-
White
attacks Black's King on the Kingside. - Three
VERY good games. ALL ...
feature the VELIMIROVIC ATTACK of the Sozin Variation of the Sicilian
Defense.
BOTH, (all 3 actually); feature castling on opposite sides of the board ---> followed
by an
all-out attack by White. All 3 (!!) games feature some of the most awesome
and really stunning chess moves ever played on a chess-board. (!!!!!)
For the game, Ostapenko - Yartsev; U.S.S.R, 1969 ...
click HERE.
For the game, J. Szmetan - G. Garcia-Gonzalez;
Malaga,
1976 ... click HERE.
For the game, GM D. Velimirovic - GM I. Csom; IBM Open,
Amsterdam, 1974; ...
you must click HERE.
-
White
attacks Black's King in a double - QP opening - What is the
correct
method for attacking the King, when both sides castle on the King-side
...
especially in a double-Queen's Pawn opening? A perfect model game by
the
former U.S. Champion!!! A game that also stands up VERY well to computer-
assisted analysis. (This game is NOT what you think!!)
-
Black
attacks WHITE's KING in the King's Indian Defense!
- Perhaps the
BEST game I have ever found for showing the correct method and ideas
...
and to illustrate the common themes in the K.I.D. A thoroughly annotated
game
for your entertainment, education and enjoyment. A GREAT game, too!!
(It is here, a forgotten masterpiece by ...
BOBBY FISCHER!!!)
-
White
attacks Black in the Pirc Defense. -
One of the
best games for showing
good attacking methods ... how does White attack Black's King in the Pirc
or
Hyper-Modern Defenses? What are the more common attacking ideas for
White to attack the Black King, when both sides have castled on the
K-side?
All of the above, and how does White attack Black's King, when the Black
King
has a 'fianchettoed' Bishop? Another DEEPLY annotated game for you to
enjoy!
(It is finally here!)
ANOTHER great game by BOBBY FISCHER!!
-
White,
"castles into it." - Can you castle too
soon? Can you castle into an attack?
(The answer is yes. See # 5, above) A great game, by the great Botvinnik. He
was
beaten horribly in a particular line by Mikenas. (I think.) Keres repeats
the same line,
looking (maybe) for an easy and quick win. Botvinnik instead wins a
'quickie.'
ALSO ANOTHER GAME FOR DEMONSTRATING THE DANGERS OF AN OPEN
FILE AGAINST YOUR OWN KING!!!!
(It's here!)
(This is one of my oldest - and most popular -
"face-to-face" lessons.)
-
A
combination based on a weak back rank and a passed pawn. -
I sent out a survey and this game won - as the best combination/most
amazing
move of the whole group. A great lesson on tactics!!
-
Rook
- and - Pawn endings - What are the MOST common ideas on a
Rook and
Pawn ending? What is the value of an open file in a R+P ending? Why is
a Rook
so effective on the 7th Rank in a R+P endgame? What is the value of an
active King
in a R+P ending? See one of THE MOST HEAVILY and CAREFULLY
ANNOTATED
(1-page) games on the Internet!! Great instruction. This is also, in
my opinion, THE
BEST R+P END-GAME EVER PLAYED. Good stuff here. You must check it out!
-
Defense
- Can good defense win a chess game? What do you do when your
opponent starts attacking your King ... AND NEVER EVEN CASTLES? How do
you
play such a position? See a good win vs. a strong IM from the ICC
/ Dos Hermanos
tournament. This is also a very efficient ending. Check it out!!
