    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.

    Dutchman Who Did Not Drink Beer. He Also Surprised My Wife Nina by Showing up with Flowers at the Lenox Hill Hospital Just Before She Gave Birth to My Son Mitchell

    168 The Bobby Fischer I Knew and Other Stories Dutchman who did not drink beer. He also surprised my wife Nina by showing up with flowers at the Lenox Hill Hospital just before she gave birth to my son Mitchell. I hadn't said peep, but he had his quiet ways of finding out. Max was quiet in another way. He never discussed his heroism during the Nazi occupation. Yet not only did he write letters to Alekhine asking the latter to intercede on behalf of the Dutch martyrs, Dr. Gerard Oskam and Salo Landau, he also put his life or at least his liberty on the line for several others. I learned of one instance from Max's friend, Hans Kmoch, the famous in-house annotator at AI Horowitz's Chess Review. Hans was living at the time on Central Park West somewhere in the Eighties. His wife Trudy, a Jew, had constant nightmares about her interrogations and beatings in Holland by the Nazis. Hans had little money, and Trudy spent much of the day in bed screaming. Enter Nina. My wife was working in the New York City welfare system and managed to get them part-time assistance. Hans then confided in me about how Dr. E greased palms and used his in­ fluence to save Trudy's life by keeping her out of a concentration camp. But mind you, I heard this from Hans, not from Dr. E, who was always Max the mum about his good deeds. Mr. President In 1970, Max Euwe was elected president of FIDE, a position he held until 1978.
