Allora, un altro premio!!
Oggi, per PURO CASO (stavo cercando qualcosa sugli arrocchi eterogenei) ho letto l’introduzione al libro di tattica di Simon Williams – Improve Your Attacking Chess(2004) 250 puzzle positions to train your king-hunting skills. PRECISO CHE NON HO USATO NESSUN ESERCIZIO DA QUESTO LIBRO E CHE NON NE CONSIGLIO L’ACQUISTO (come sempre, non faccio mai reclame per libri o motori o altro!!).Copio ed incollo da pag.6-7 (ho il pdf):

Basic Ideas
I will now briefly summarize some important concepts to be borne in mind when
attacking.
1) Attacking chess will normally involve tactics at some point. Tactics by
their nature usually involve checks or captures. So the most important things to
watch for are checks and captures – this is simple common sense really. If a
player on every move starts by analysing al1 checks and captures that are available
to him, he will be more aware of any tactics that the position offers. Checks
and captures have a forcing nature so they tend to lead to variations that are forcing.
By the process of elimination a player can decide whether a line is viable or
in many cases whether it wins the game or loses the game.
Rule 1: Always analyse checks and captures first.
2) Successful attacks do not start from thin air: they are successful for a reason.
A successful attack works because of certain features in the position; for example
an exposed king, open h-file, active pieces, etc. These are factors for
which a player should always be searching. Most successful attacks occur from
the build-up of small positional advantages. There is no point in a lone white
knight attacking a black king that is guarded by most of its army. A rule of thumb
is that three pieces are normally needed for a successful attack, but of course
there are exceptions to this. Three pieces attacking a poorly guarded king will
normally triumph.
Rule 2: Only attack when there is a chance of success. This can depend upon
a number of factors, the most obvious being when a player has more or better
placed pieces than his opponent. In other words timing is crucial.
3) Calculation is the key. Good calculation will give good results. People calculate
in different ways: if you are missing lots of tactics look at the way in which
you are calculating. One simple way to calculate in a complicated position is to
do the following. Take all the moves which are critical (maybe checks and captures)
and analyse them one by one. You will rither find a decent line (if the
position lets you!) or by elimination you will alive at an ‘only move’. Do not
swap half way through calculating from one line to another.
Rule 3: When starting an attack, calculate the possible variations as deeply
as possible.
Most of the above rules are common sense but it is amazing how often players,
even top players, ignore these logical rules.

Questi miei video sono letteralmente la scoperta dell’acqua calda. Io credevo che tutti avrebbero commentato “La conosciamo già. Basta, che noia”. Invece, ciò che davo per scontato e risaputo non era poi così tanto noto.
“Most of the above rules are common sense but it is amazing how often players,
even top players, ignore these logical rules” E’ emozionante vedere come molti giocatori ignorino queste logiche regole! CONDIVIDO PIENAMENTE.
