As you said the two targetted pieces aren't on the squares e8 and h7. It also not so easy to get the knight to f6. My first thought is drop the knight back to d3 and and stick it on the outpost square e5. then I'm looking at trying to put pressure on g6. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps I'm not looking deep enough into the position to find the possible fork down the road.Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747958243702670987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-80473103941121285752008-05-21T18:51:00.000+02:002008-05-21T18:51:00.000+02:00Caq,Be6 is not so effective.

In this case a trial and error of the movement of the knight made me aware of the fork. But that is what I try to unlearn. To replace random trial and error with systematic scans.<BR/><BR/>There seems to be little special about the square f6. The fork and the fact that I can reach it make it special. Besides that there are a lot of other squares that seem to be similar to f6 at first sight.Temposchluckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977208394417444785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-18379853251075026002008-05-21T16:49:00.000+02:002008-05-21T16:49:00.000+02:00I wonder if this isn't actually a "weak-square" sc...I wonder if this isn't actually a "weak-square" scan. As in: f6 is weak. If only I could sink a piece there, Black's game would fall apart. Hey, if I could drive the Queen away, then Nh5+ forces ...Kh7 and I get to play Nf6+. How can I drive the Queen away? --At this point, with the idea that the Black King can be forced to h7, and the idea that Re8 attacks the Queen (which you already noticed in when looking for undefended pieces), the fork is no longer deeply buried, and should fall to your regular double-attack scan. Shouldn't it?<BR/><BR/>Is that any help?ed g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11919010458729730372noreply@blogger.com
