Introduction

If both sides play perfectly, th€re can be oo wloners or

losers in chess. Chess haa aaiDtalned lts eppeal preclsely

because it cannot be fully dastered, It is slmply too

compllcated!

No player has ever sqcceeded lD totally eradlcatlng

earors fro& hls play, Kasparov still ma.kes many inaccuracies

(though fewer tha! his coatemporaries). In fact, the only way

to avoid lElstakes ls to give up chess! Since we are not

prepared to resort to this extreme m€asure, it is necessa4/ to

find ways of reducing the fr€quency aod seriousness of our

elTors.

I hope the following tuide to 'Typtc.l Ml.t l.€!' wlll

help you ln yoqr quest towardr lhe'llluslon of perfect play'.

Once he avoids leaving pieces and pawns en pfise, Lhe

beginner has completed the first stage of his chess develop-

meDt. Of course, this does not mean that the strontest

playera are immune from simple error6.

Lasker v Euwe

Here, rather than move his kdght, Euwe counter-

attacked with 23 ... AaS Euwe records that Lasker wrote.23 ...

another question mark and then played 24 b4! Euwe resigned

attack.

'Havint beed foiled on the queenside White tries again on the

kingside. Oddly, Black, although he appa.rently saw the first

fork coming, completely misses the much more dangerous one

kiog, queen & rook) and merely tries to make the knitht

As soon as we have learned to avoid throwing away

The begirher has to learlr about the power of pins and

particular is a terror to the tyro.

The trlumph of Black's strategy. He has five main

pieces in play (includlng the queen which - in marked

coltrast to White's - is actively placed without having

pranced around the board. He is safely castled and has a

ready target in White's klng.

So White \ras only one move away from fulfiuidg her

strategy (18 gxgT mate). Look at her queenside. Not one piece

contrlbuted to the game. Meanwhlle, all Black's pieces are

working (except the queen rook).

Note how much time Black has gained by haiassing White's

queen, White is still th-ree moves from castlint. But Botvinnik

must play enertetically o. White will develop his pieces and

win wlth his extra materlal 15 tsc1 gas+ 16 [d2 pdS! (a fine

move. Now, since 17 af3 gxcs 18 Wbt Axa2 19 8al Ec2 20

Even very stront players can misjudge the fine balance

between 'rash' pawd snatching and healthy capitalism. In the
