"I've played a number of interesting novelties lately. Mostly that's because I haven't got a clue what I am doing in the opening." ― Nigel Short

"When you see a good move – WAIT! – look for a better one." ― Emanuel Lasker The Portuguese chess player and author Pedro Damiano (1480–1544) first wrote this in his book "Questo libro e da imparare giocare a scachi et de li partiti" published in Rome, Italy, in 1512.

"Against Alekhine you never knew what to expect. Against Capablanca, you knew what to expect, but you couldn't prevent it!" ― George Thomas

"Whereas Anderssen and Chigorin looked for accidental positions, Capablanca is guided by the logicality of strong positions. He values only that which is well-founded: solidity of position, pressure on a weak point, he does not trust the accidental, even if it be a problem-like mate, at the required moment he discovers and carries out subtle and far-sighted combinations..." ― Emanuel Lasker

"Capablanca possessed an amazing ability to quickly see into a position and intuitively grasp its main features. His style, one of the purest, most crystal-clear in the entire history of chess, astonishes one with its logic." ― Garry Kasparov

"It's a short trip from the penthouse to the outhouse." ― Paul Dietzel

"Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom." ― Francis Bacon

"Discipline is wisdom and vice versa." ― M. Scott Peck

"The punishment of every disordered mind is its own disorder." ― St. Augustine of Hippo, Confessions

"In chess, as in life, a man is his own most dangerous opponent." — Vasily Smyslov (1921-2010), 7th World Chess Champion

"For a period of ten years--between 1946 and 1956--Reshevsky was probably the best chessplayer in the world. I feel sure that had he played a match with Botvinnik during that time he would have won and been World Champion." ― Bobby Fischer

Question: What did clocks never have before 1577? Answer: Minute hands – it was eventually invented by Jost Burgi for, it is believed, Tycho Brahe, an astronomer who needed an accurate clock for stargazing.

Question: What is the most frequently sold item at Walmart? Answer: Bananas – although Walmart never disclosed how many bananas they sell each year, the number has to be immense considering that over 200 million people shop in its stores worldwide every single week.

Wealth without work.
Pleasure without conscience.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush ― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, "Don Quixote"

Old Russian Proverb: "Measure seven times, cut once. (Семь раз отмерь — один отрежь.)" Be careful before you do something that cannot be changed.

"I'm 58 years old and I just went through 8 back surgeries. They started cutting on me in February 2009, and I was basically bed ridden for almost two years. I got a real dose of reality that if you don't have your health, you don't have anything." — Hulk Hogan

'Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater'

<This poem is dedicated to all female chessplayers on Caissa's Web.

Sweet Caissa

Oh, Sweet Caissa, Goddess of chess
in the name of this holistic game
I pray Thee: bless my noble aim
to render all my opponents lame
in my holy quest for worldly fame,
to be Supreme no more no less.
In awe I heard this Sweet Caissa say
"Daughter go forth and smite them all,
stoutly charge your knight sitting tall
while flying over the castle's wall
to slay all men in your deadly call."
Now in fear I hide and will no longer play.>

"You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore." ― William Faulkner

"Sometimes in life, and in chess, you must take one step back to take two steps forward." — IM Levy Rozman, GothamChess

So much, much, much better to be an incurable optimist than deceitful and untrustworthy.

Old Russian Proverb: "Scythe over a stone." (Нашла коса на камень.) The force came over a stronger force.

"It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things." ― Leonardo da Vinci

InkHarted wrote:

Checkmate.
I started off as an equal
I have everything that they do
my life was one and the same as my foe
childish battles of lesser
I won baring cost of a little
but as time outgrew my conscience
I found that the pieces were moving against me
with time my company reduced
they left one by one
all in time forgetting me
my castles collapsed
my religion dissuaded
my protectors in hiding
I could not run anymore
I have been cornered to a wall
as the queen left silently
without saying goodbye
I could not live any longer
she was most precious to me
I could not win without her by my side
so the king knelt down and died.

"Everyone should know how to play chess." — José Raúl Capablanca

"We do not remember days, we remember moments." ― Cesare Pavese

"Friend, you don't have to earn God's love or try harder. You're precious in His sight, covered by the priceless blood of Jesus, and indwelt by His Holy Spirit. Don't hide your heart or fear you're not good enough for Him to care for you. Accept His love, obey Him, and allow Him to keep you in His wonderful freedom." — Charles F. Stanley

Specific Game Example: Paul Keres vs Vladimir Petrov USSR Championship (1940), Moscow URS, rd 19, Oct-02 Keres vs Petrov, 1940

FIDE Master Valeri Lilov: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ts...

Self-Talk:

"Was that move legal?" If so, write it down.

"Where/what is my opponent aiming at now?
How many times?"

"Am I in check now? How can I be put in check on the next turn? How would I respond to check?"

Checklist - Response to the King in Check - CBA: C) CAPTURE the checker,
B) interpose BETWEEN (self-pin),
* If a knight gives check, interposing between is not possible. A) fly AWAY to a safe square?
* Double check requires the King to move out of both checks.

"What can my opponent capture?" etc. etc.

GM Lilov mentions counting the material as part of the evaluation process. Do be sure to count the number of attackers against the number of defenders where checks, captures, and pawn advances/promotions are threatened. Can more attackers be added? Can defenders be removed, obstructed, pinned, etc.? This forcing assessment is vital before every move.

The value of the pieces involved, and the move order in which the pieces capture and re-capture also matters. In <tpstar's diagram above>, White has three attackers aiming at the g6-pawn, that is protected by only two defenders. However, the attackers are more valuable pieces, and the defenders are lowly pawns, so capturing on g6 with a White piece will lose material value even though White has Black outnumbered there.

GM Lilov does mention the unprotected a2-pawn as a weakness. Thus, it had one attacker (the Black queen) and no defender. Then he shows that White has an adequate response to the ... Qxa2 capture by counterattacking. One must not be baited into capturing for free or material gain without knowing what will happen AFTER the capture is made.

Fredthebear created this collection. It has been hacked.

Endgames focus on creating and promoting a passed pawn, then checkmating with the new piece, usually a queen. Endgames have reoccurring patterns too, so study your endings! Your endgame knowledge will assist your ability to assess trades in the opening and middlegame, what appears to be an even exchange. One color or the other often benefits slightly more when an even exchange is made.

If your opponent knows that one doesn't know endings, s/he'll swap off the pieces (avoiding tactical play) and head for positions with greatly reduced material.

For example, many young players panic without their beloved queen on board, so the experienced player will trade off the queens and some other like pieces and drag the young player into an undesired endgame. The point is, knowledge of middlegame tactics can be dissolved into an uncomfortable endgame through exchanges, so the study of endgames is also vital.

Endgame knowledge will be rewarded time and time again over the course of one's chess career, particularly in hard fought games where it's been difficult to find an advantage.

* Here's an easy, chatty start: Easy Endgame Strategies by Bill Robertie (Cardoza publishing, 2003). This combines his earlier books into one. https://www.abebooks.com/book-searc...

* How to Beat Your Kids at Chess by David MacEnulty explains the endgame thoroughly: https://books.google.com/books/abou... Note that MacEnulty's other topical books are excellent instruction; most have been re-printed with different titles and covers -- same book, different look.

* Turnabout is fair play: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/chess... Chess is chess -- it's the same game regardless of your age. If it's good for kids to know, then it's good for grown-ups to know.

* Sign up for free and you can read Polgar's guide for FREE: https://archive.org/details/worldch... Section I is all about tactics, Section II is the endgame. Gotta recognize all these patterns! Her other books are good too.

* Winning Chess Endings by Yasser Seirawan is easily available from used book sources: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/winni... That was my attempt at saying that I wouldn't pay $25 for the latest edition.

* Openings? You worried about openings? This opening puzzle book is more than enough to get one going for a few years: https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/the-w... If you miss these tactical opportunities, there's no point studying anything more advanced. Way too many chess players study long lines of grandmaster variations and miss the basics. It's far better for the average Joe Sixpack to never-miss-an-opportunity-to-punish-simple-mista- kes by rehearsing common patterns and blunders quickly and repeatedly.

<Oct-04-23 HeMateMe: I play 3/2 blitz occasionally on Lichess. I find it an excellent site, none of the delays/cancellations that ruined chess.com (for me).
