Spearheads C (Batteries involving the Q)
Compiled by fredthebear
--*--

This type of collection is easy to find, meaning it occurs frequently in GM games. Such a battery can be a defensive device for protection as well as for attacking.

Thank you mmzkr.

Chess variants w/missing units and older games (often miniatures) are on top the list. Then there is one section of old and new French Defense games together toward the middle. The ECO code starts over from 300-399 with newer games toward the bottom half of the list. Uncategorized and misplaced games are at the very bottom. This is a typical order for a Fredbear collection.

"....his countrymen, Kolisch and Steinitz, are greatly indebted for their later success to their having enjoyed early opportunities of practicing with the departed amateur whose death is also greatly deplored amongst all who knew him personally" - Wilhelm Steinitz, regarding Karl Hamppe

poem by B.H. Wood which appeared in the following issues of the Chess Amateur: March 1930 (page 127).

The Chess Cafe III – The Spectator

Quiet in the corner sitting, not a word
He utters, but, his eyes glued on their board,
Where in oblivion the players brood,
He spends his lifetime's dearest hours.
His food
Is cold, his lighted pipe goes slowly out ….
Yet when the game ends, when they talk about
Its ins and outs, its characteristic twist,
He's seen that winning line a master missed!
You ask him for a game – ‘I never play
Myself – hardly a game a year', he'll say.

How many chess openings are there?

Well, White has 20 possible 1st moves. Black can respond with 20 of its own. That's 400, and we're ready for move 2. I don't know them, but I would not be at all surprised if there was a name for each of them. People are like that. You really, really don't need to know them all.

If you follow the rules of thumb for good opening play, I promise you that you'll be playing a named opening. Just put the 1st 3 moves in google, and you'll get the opening's name. With that information you can find other games that started the way your game started, likely by some very good players. Also, with the name you can read about it on Wikipedia, and find out what people think of it, who plays it, and its particular traps and idiosyncrasies.

Once again, The Rules of Thumb for Good Opening Play:

- Develop your pieces quickly with an eye towards controlling the center. Not necessarily occupying the center but controlling it certainly. - Castle your king just as soon as it's practical to do so. - Really try not to move a piece more than once during the opening, it's a waste of valuable time. - Connect your rooks. This marks the end of the opening. Connected rooks means that only your rooks and your castled king are on the back rank. - Respond to threats appropriately, even if you have to break the rules. They're rules of thumb, not scripture, or physical laws.

If you and your opponent follow these rules of thumb, you'll reach the middle game ready to fight. If only you follow these rules of thumb, you're already winning! Good Hunting. -- Eric H.

Want to stop getting nailed by royal thunderbolts? Ask "Can my opponent aim that queen toward my king's surrounding kill box 8, gain near opposition just outside the kill box, blockade a near pawn on a weak square preventing advancement, or fire upon my back rank defender or it's defendant? Can she arrive in two moves?" She often strikes or supports a penetrating rook diagonally. Check her diagonals! She's a Medusa -- Do NOT allow her to peak at your king!

(What's more, don't align your own queen with your king for your own queen's sake -- to avoid forks, pins, and skewers! All the more reason to castle and separate the couple).
