Or alternatively can you suck your opponent into attacking kingside so that you can counterattack in the centre? In other words use your judgement to access what the position requires and form a plan that will achieve a set goal or objective. Positional judgement is one of a chess players greatest assets and is achieved by calmly weighing up the pro & cons and then coming to a realistic decision. Easy isn't it! |

Of course you know there are many plans to choose, you just need to make up your mind as simply as thinking "Allright, I'll make him desperate by failing all his plans". Being "blank" without plan will make you be impatient and become careless. If you noticed, it is interesting enough that "patient" is more meaningful to highly rated players than to novices. |
Chess news: Magnus Carlsen wins without distinction -- Magnus Carlsen won the London Classic and confirmed his world No1 status, yet paradoxically the Norwegian seemed, compared with the chess legends Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov in their pomp, far from his personal zenith. Carlsen impressed in his opening win against Vlad Kramnik, which ultimately settled first prize, and in the later stages of his next win from Luke McShane. But in the remaining five rounds he stuttered his way to victory. He could have lost to Michael Adams, had two or three other dubious positions and missed a simple win in the puzzle below. Still the 19-year-old's No 1 spot in the January world chess rankings will fulfil the target set by his coach Kasparov. Kramnik ... Veteran Has Staying Power, but 19-Year-Old Will Be No. 1 -- Two of the biggest chess events of the year ended last week with champions who are at very different stages of their chess careers. In Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia, Boris Gelfand of Israel captured the World Cup, outlasting a field of 128 players. Though he is No. 7 in the world, and will be No. 6 when the new chess rankings come out on Jan. 1, Gelfand, 41, is not likely to be an elite player for many more years, particularly when chess is increasingly a young man’s game. His staying power — he has been among the world’s best chess players for two decades — is unusual. With the victory in the World Cup, Gelfand has qualified for the candidates’ matches to select a challenger for ... Another Dose of Chess Nostalgia -- Tis the season, or perhaps the year, for nostalgia. In September, Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Karpov, the former chess champions and rivals, played a 12-game exhibition match in Valencia, Spain, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of their first championship match. On Friday, another match between chess legends began in Elista, the capital of Kalmykia, a region in southern Russia next to Kazakhstan. The match is between Boris Spassky, 72, the former world chess champion, and Viktor Korchnoi, 78, the two-time (or three-time, depending on whether the candidates final in 1974 is included) challenger for the world title. Like Kasparov and Karpov, Korchnoi and Spassky are old rivals, though ... | |
