If there are insufficient defenders, you can invade there. Often this leads to new threads.<br /><br />During a game there is no time to fiddle around with checklists. The method I propose is meant for the study room and is designed to educate the chess module in your brain that cranks out moves during a game.Temposchluckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977208394417444785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-82613431464986554052012-08-11T16:09:09.124+02:002012-08-11T16:09:09.124+02:00I wonder what invasion is?
As always I find that ...I wonder what invasion is?<br /><br />As always I find that you write as an essayist. So hard to completely grasp your meaning, nevertheless always intreresting points you bring up.<br /><br />I wonder if have a tactical list in your mind during play which you check from 1 to ... each time its your move in a game?From the patzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499383398575774704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-67183172360352053522012-08-11T11:40:31.344+02:002012-08-11T11:40:31.344+02:00I hardly get puzzles over 2000. But I have conside...I hardly get puzzles over 2000. But I have considerable experience of one class below: the 1800-2000 range.<br />And I can compare them with puzzles below that range. In the following I will call the 1800-2000 "hard" and the puzzles below 1600 "easy":<br /><br />if the hard ones are a fork, then they have typically forks of equal <br />pieces:<br />knights forking knights, queen forking queens, rook forking rooks, bishop forking bishops.<br /><br />If they are a distraction/attraction, then often a queen distracts a queen.<br />Again, equal tags with equal pieces are usually higher rated.<br /><br /><br />Then there is the element of repetition: you give a check while at the same time take a pawn. The opponent king moves, and you give another check. The king moves back to its origin. Then you go back with the check giving piece to its origin. We have almost the same position on the board, but the difference is the missing pawn which you took with a check.<br /><br />People seem to discard options if they have the feeling that they are just a repetition back to the origin (seemingly making no "progress"). It does not matter that it is obvious. If the puzzle had started without the pawn, it could have been a 1100 rated puzzle.<br />We seem to be blind for going back to squares we came from.<br />The nature of tactics are, that they are often forward executed. Forwards against opponents pieces.<br />That is why most hard puzzles whose solution is a "going back to the original position" show a "backward" move, or at least a "sidemove".<br /><br />After doing some hundreds of hard puzzles, I developed a sense for "going back to the original position". I do consider going back to where I just came from. Well, at least more often than before...<br />(nobody is perfect).<br /><br />What has all this to do with your post here? Well, you discussed the nature of a tactic, with defenders who are overworked. I just felt like adding a bit more detail about what kind of pieces are overworked (hard puzzles overwork often equal pieces). And the "backward" move nature of hard puzzle has indeed not much to do with your post, but well, I have written it, I dont delete it.Munichnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-35620780760804049482012-08-11T08:23:26.402+02:002012-08-11T08:23:26.402+02:00I added a paragraph at the end for clarification.I added a paragraph at the end for clarification.Temposchluckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977208394417444785noreply@blogger.com
