  • Dvoretsky Lessons
    Pay Attention to your Opponent's Resources Purchases from our shop help Part One keep ChessCafe.com freely accessible: Your opponent also has a right to exist – Savielly Tartakower remarked with his characteristic irony. Absorbed in our own thoughts, we sometimes forget this, for which we have to pay dearly. As Viktor Korchnoi wrote – "Well, if you do not check what your opponent is doing, you will end up complaining about bad luck after every game." No chess player has managed to completely exclude this kind of mistake, but some make it less often and others more often. Many who are over-self-confident optimists make it with unenviable regularity. The The key word in the title of this article is attention, attentiveness. It's no Instructor accident that a significant proportion of mistakes (we call them "oversights" and "blunders") are by no means associated with your own failed ideas, but ECO A with strong opposition on the part of your opponent. You don't notice them by Chess Informant Mark Dvoretsky because your attention is mainly directed towards looking for and studying your own strongest moves. You should put yourself in the position of your partner a little more often, and think about how he's going to react to the idea you have in store for him. However, this very important skill that forms the title of this article (then again, like any other skill) doesn't appear by itself, you have to develop and train it with the aid of specially-selected exercises. Let's have a look at a few practical examples and think about the reasons why mistakes happened in them.

  • Mikhail Tal's Best Games 1
    Mikhail Tal’s Best Games 1 The Magic of Youth By Tibor Karolyi Quality Chess www.qualitychess.co.uk Introduction Tigran Petrosian once stated: “A genius in chess is someone who is ahead of his time, but this can be seen only later, by looking back. From this point of view, very few can be called geniuses. Morphy, Steinitz... perhaps Tal. The Riga grandmaster introduced into chess something that was not fully understood by his contemporaries. Unfortunately, all too soon we gained the opportunity to look back with admiration at the peak of Tal’s remarkable play.” I dare to contradict the ninth world champion – not for the positive sentiments expressed in the above passage, but for his use of the word “perhaps” before Tal’s name. I would argue that Tal was unquestionably a genius, who was far ahead of his time. Tal’s Chess Career The Tal phenomenon is unique in the history of chess. He became World Champion in 1960 at the age of twenty-three, the youngest ever at the time, beating Mikhail Botvinnik by a resounding 12½–8½ margin. Further details can be found in the second volume The World Champion. Tal stunned the chess world, not only with his amazing playing strength and competitive results, but with his uniquely imaginative and risky style of play. Tal’s spectacular games and charming personality endeared him to chess fans in a way that had never occurred before and may never be seen again. All world chess champions are exceptional individuals whose games helped to enhance the wider understanding of chess.
