Mar-27-10		notyetagm: Notice: 1) TACTICAL TARGET CAN BE A TACTICAL MOTIF 2) TAKE THE BASE OF THE PAWN CHAIN, REMOVE THE GUARD 3) PIECES OF OPPOSITE COLOR LINED UP (White d3-bishop, Black c3-queen) ARE A PREREQUISITE FOR A DISCOVERED ATTACK Mekhitarian vs Matsuura Argentine Ch 2009

Aug-15-10		notyetagm: What a great tactical shot by Iordachescu to finish off the game in style!!

Aug-26-10		GrahamClayton: 18...♕c3 sets up the double threat with 20.♕g3. What would White play if Black played 18...♕c7? I don' think that the sacrifice on f7 now works, eg 18.♘f7 ♔f7 19.♕f4+ ♔g7.

Sep-05-10		notyetagm: V Iordachescu vs R Schmidt, 2010 19 ♘e5xf7!! 1-0 <UPGRADES> the singular <THREAT> of ♕g4-g3 into a <TACTICAL TARGET (DOUBLE ATTACK)>. That is why you want to <VISUALIZE> the occupation of the <TACTICAL BASE>, to determine what the <CANDIDATE SQUARES> are for creating a second <TACTICAL TARGET> for a <DOUBLE ATTACK>!!! <UPGRADE> by <VISUALIZATION>! <UPGRADE> by <VISUALIZATION>! <UPGARDE> by <VISUALIZATION>!

Sep-05-10		notyetagm: Game Collection: BEST TACTICAL SHOTS OF 2010 V Iordachescu vs R Schmidt, 2010 19 Ng5xf7!! turns simple discovery into winning double threat

Sep-05-10		notyetagm: 19 ? click for larger view This is the position after Black has just played 18 ... ♕c5xc3?!, capturing a White pawn on c3 but also dangerously <LINING UP> his <UNDEFENDED> Black c3-queen with the White d3-bishop, creating the prerequisite White-piece-lined-up-with-Black-piece for a possible <DISCOVERED ATTACK>. White realizes that he can create said <DISCOVERED ATTACK> by moving his White h4-queen onto the g3-square with 19 ♕h4-g3?, but this move does not really threaten anything and just drops the White g5-knight. What is the problem? The problem is that when the White h4-queen arrives on g3, it does not create a <SECOND THREAT>. The threat of ♕h4-g3 needs to be augmented, that is, White needs the arrival of the White h4-queen onto g3 to threaten something besides the creation of the <DISCOVERY CHAIN> White g3-queen + White d3-bishop + <UNDEFENDED> Black c3-queen. Here is the key: <VISUALIZE> the White h4-queen on g3. What other squares might make a good <SECOND TARGET>. The g6-square stands out, as it is a square that can be reach by the White queen from g3 and is near the enemy Black e8-king. Now what <FORCING MOVE> does White have at his disposal that could make the g6-square a <SECOND TACTICAL TARGET>? 19 ♘g5xf7!! 19 ♘g5xf7!! 1-0 click for larger view The point is that the brilliant 19 ♘g5xf7!! has created a <SECOND WEAKNESS>, the Black king in general and the g6-square in particular. After 19 ... ♔e8x♘f7, White now plays his h4-queen onto the g3-square with 20 ♕h4-g3 and now this queen move is a <DOUBLE THREAT>. (CONTINUATION) 19 ... ♔e8x♘f7 20 ♕h4-g3 click for larger view click for larger view White now has two, count'em two threats: 1) 21 ♕g3xg6# 2) 21 ♗d3xg6+, 22 ♕g3x♕c3

Sep-05-10		notyetagm: (CONT'D) GM Baburin in Chess Today CT-3420 gives the sequence <19 ♘g5xf7! ♔e8x♘f7 20 ♕h4-g3! g6-g5 21 ♗d3-g6+ ♔f7xg6 22 ♕g3x♕c3> with great loss of material for Black, so he resigned. A simply brilliant idea by White, 19 ♘g5xf7!! followed by 20 ♕h4-g3, or 19 ♘g5xf7!, 20 ♕h4xg3! if you prefer Baburin's annotation. White <VISUALIZED> the White h4-queen on the g3-square <TACTICAL BASE>, where one <TACTICAL TARGET> for a <FORK> was the <DISCOVERY CHAIN> ♕c3-♗d3-♕g3 and the second <TACTICAL TARGET> was the g6-square near the Black e8-king that was created by 19 ♘g5xf7!! and could be reached by the White h4-queen when she arrived on the g3-square. The brilliant 19 ♘g5xf7!! <UPGRADES> the easily met idea of ♕h4-g3 into a <DOUBLE THREAT> that wins immediately.

Mar-28-11		notyetagm: Game Collection: YOU MUST CREATE THE SECOND TACTICAL TARGET!

Mar-29-11		sevenseaman: 16. Q h4 ? I vaguely recall I have seen some game that came to an immediate head with the 16. Bxg6 sac. Presence of the N on e7 here stops that precipitate action. A very good denouement! 'One can pluck a raw fruit and make ripen it in the basket; one can let it ripen on the branch'. Here White expertly waits for the right moment.
