    My learning from this session :-
    
Technical -
    1 - Attack can mean attack on king, weak pawn, weak square in opponent position, attack on light squares etc.
    2 - For attack to be successful there has to be (a) weakness in opponent position, (b) superiority in attacking units.
    
3 - Initiative - when one side gives a threat and other side reacts by defence; the side which gives threat has the initiative.
    
4 - Attack is long term while initiative is short term and lasts 3-4 moves so need to quickly act on it when have the initiative.
    
5 - When attacked don’t give the initiative by playing defensive moves and instead look out for counter attacking possibilities. Here it is imp. to analyse small variations, consider small traps etc. Even if we can postpone going defensive for one move we should .
    6 - If still have to play a defensive move then go forward and defend instead of moving backwards.
    7 - We can consider sacrificing pawns in lieu of open files, open diagonals, development advantage, piece activity, time advantage and safe king .
    8 - If opponent lacks time (e.g need time to develop and king safety) then keep him engaged by giving threats.
    9 - Scanning technique when considering moves. Good player does these 4 things - (a) sees multiple branches, (b) tries to go little deep into each, (c) minimise mistakes in each branch and (d) do all this quickly without wasting much time and effort.
    10 - In general when attacking avoid exchanges unless trade does something strong like exposing a king etc.
    11 - Try to bring more pieces into the attack instead of continuing attack with existing pieces.
    Psychological -
    1- Need to fight for advantage from the beginning of the game and not fear losing in the process else always end up in a defensive position (lion and buffalo attacker-pray analogy). Don’t be afraid to take risks and don’t avoid getting into complex positions.
    2 - When playing lower rated player it is okay to play the sidelines and consider taking him out of theory early on.

    3 - Revisit good games as new learning happens subsequently with increased maturity and chess strength.

    if you see a good move look for a better move! after i used this princip i found that the moves that was not so good became useful in the correct solution so its not waste of time to analyze incorrect solutions because they feed you with important informations you will use in the final solution

    Can I know what's the meaning of Technical Play or Technical Decision making in Chess(a book written by Boris Gelfand)? What's the topic about?

  • @rameeshpaul8243
    @rameeshpaul8243 4 роки тому +2

    Sir in this game you didn't allow opponent to take initiative by not going defensive and managed to get open files, king safety, lead in development and more time but at cost of 2/3 pawns. How much of this is preparation, how much is instinct and how much over the board calculation? Personally, I am scared when so many pawns down. I want to understand how you know that this is better for you by looking at the position?

    • @RameshRB
      @RameshRB  4 роки тому +5

      I knew before the game itself about the two pawn sacrifice. After that it is a matter trusting your position and your skill to see it through its logical conclusion. We don’t need to see the destination to begin the journey!

    good stream as always A question i have is when we analyse our own games we obviously dont see what a better player sees . Therefore are we teaching ourselves to fail as we do in Tactics if we dont spot the right moves
