"I’m the one to do you good,Out of sleep, out of foodOnly thinking nights and days,How to make the best chess aids...*" in the original version,the fox thought about helping animals....Jan Wiktor Lesman (Jan Brzechwa)“The Mischiefs of Vitalis the Fox” A Practical GuideA few practical guidelines can facilitate the decision-making process,but without doubt they only present a certain problem in simple terms.Chess, however, is a highly complicated game and each general rule containsa lot of exceptions. It is our task to spot the moment in which one of theseexceptions occurs. Look for weaknesses! When driving, drivers use traffic signs as a form of guidance. For chessplayers, such traffic signs are weaknesses.Squares in the centre and in one’s own camp, which are not defendedby pawns, can easily become weak. Avoid exchanging pieces which defendthese squares. If your opponent has a weakened complex of squares ofa given colour, try to exchange the Bishops that control these squares.Isolated pawns or especially doubled isolated pawns become a long-termtarget for enemy pieces. The square in front of an isolated pawn is oftenweak and can become a perfect outpost for the opponent’s piece. Do notweaken the pawn structure unless doing so will bring you tangible benefits.Remember that pawns do not move backwards!Pawns can also be potential tactical weaknesses, especially when thedifference between the number of attackers and defenders of a given targetis equal to or greater than zero. In such case, each additional and unexpectedattack of the opponent, especially double attack, may result in our materiallosses.Pieces can also be tactical as pieces are easier to move around than pawns,they are considered to be more strategical than tactical weaknesses.More often they are considered to be strategic weaknesses when their acti-vity is limited by our own or our opponent’s pawns. Do not let that happen! You should consider your moves in the following order:a) forcing movesa1) checksa2) capturesa3) attacking weaknessesb) non-forcing movesWhen you have a space disadvantage, try to exchange pieces. This willincrease your chances of finding a good spot for each of your chessmen.When you have a space advantage, try not to exchange pieces.Play on the side of the board where you have a space advantage.If you have a lead in development, open up the position. The enemy King caneasily find himself in trouble. The opening of a position is also good whenyou have the Bishops and your opponent has the Knights.When you are the side with the Bishops, try to establish an asymmetricalpawn structure.Do not leave your King without any defending pieces. Also, make sure thatthe King has an escape square, where he could take refuge in case of a checkalong the back rank.

We don't know each other, so you may have trouble believing what I'm writing. The old chess rule says "believe but verify", so I recommend this method. I have almost 50 years of chess experience, which I pass on to people in the form of my books and guides. I sold over a thousand books in Poland. I believe I can achieve this in other countries too, which is why I have created English and German versions of my books. The greatest advantage of my publications is their simplicity. You will understand them easily. How can I help you? 1. The guide that you can download from my website will help you look at chess better and not lose pieces unnecessarily. 2.The books, excerpts of which you will find on this website, will teach you a strategic approach to chess. Spend some of your time and you won't regret it. If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them. Best regards, IM, IA Witalis Sapis witalis-sapis.com/en/homepage/ "These strategic manuals by two experienced trainers are a must for any instructor! I recommend using them for students with USCF ratings ranging from 1300 to 2500. I have read many instructional books since my junior years but never have I come across such an easy-to-digest way of presenting examples—only a few moves with simple, clear verbal explanations of the ideas from the players themselves! The examples used vary in level of difficulty and going through all of them will only solidify one’s strategic understanding. The exercise chapters (Chapter 3 for Vol 1 and Chapter 7 for Vol 2) add more instructive value as it can be used either as in-class group exercises or individual homework. Any club leader, camp instructor or chess coach will be able to find the topical chapters useful when preparing for their regular lessons. And I won’t be surprised if they improve their strategic intuition as well in the process!” GM Julio Sadorra Coach of University of Texas Dallas Chess Team

Japan released radioactive contaminated water.However, radioactive substances such as cesium and strontium exceeded the standard level and were released.Even Masashi Goto, the architect of the nuclear power plant, said the release should be prevented.And, while the polluted waters of Fukushima are very far from the Korean Peninsula in terms of ocean currents, 200 to 500 meters deep currents enter the Korean Peninsula's territorial waters within a year.Even if this scenario doesn't work, the fish in Fukushima will be everywhere.If you get caught in the U.S., you get made in the U.S., and if you get caught in China, you get made in China.Also, if radioactive fish are caught in other prefectures in Japan, which Korea allows to export, they will be imported as they are.Even customs inspections are slow.These fish are like rugby balls that don't know where they're going to bounce.Asia, South America, and North America are in range, and other continents are less fortunate, but radiation can reach out. Please write 1 for the discharge of contaminated water and 2 for the opposite in the comments.Although the release has begun, isn't there any hope if people all over the world oppose it?

Hello guys! When I prepare some openings and strategy for my students almost everyone tell me: "I need to attack!". Children love tactics, very fast attack and glorious victory. Yes, that is true. Almost everyone enojoy quick victory with some combinations like in Shirov's or Tal's games. Because of that many students think that when you attack you have to go forward. When I create some examples they always looking for such a moves, when they go forward - for example go from rank number 4 to rank number 6 when they play as white. Be careful. When you attack sometimes you have to prepare counterplay and go backward and then push. Have a look! We have much more examples linked to this idea. I prepare three and I hope you now understand, that sometimes if you want to go forward you have to first go back!
