Play online chess |  Subject: An Expert Lesson in Piece Overload
Message:
Here is the scenairo, you are playing an Expert about 300-400 points north of you. You use the World Database for guidance but as soon as the Expert takes you out of it you can be mightily stumped for a plan. Where do I go from here? Well, after this game with Marin, a very strong Expert I think the thing to do is to check what pieces are covering what, do you have any overloaded pieces. If so, sort it before the Expert sorts you! I have annotated this game on the Public Gallery to demonstrate this point.
Have a nice day all of you.
Cheers.
Joanne

You should analyze the position first and chose a move, then go to the database. Before rejecting your own move, convince yourself that you understand why the database move is much stronger. You need to have your head in the game, before your book or datebase runs out; or your first move on your own is liable to be a disaster.

Chess Notes — Here is a product of the World Chess Cup, a game of maneuver from the fourth round in which Peter Svidler, a chess veteran and winner of the Soviet Championship five times, subdues Arkadij Naiditsch of Germany. Games that start quietly inevitably result in noisy clashes. In this game Svidler as Black develops his pieces to the third rank, depending on ultimate counter play. It is interesting that he allows Bh6 against his King side, and simply ignores the cleric. White gets no advantage from this Bishop, which is later eliminated. The critical confrontation occurs after Svidler turns to the attack with 23 f5. Naiditsch responds passively by reconnoitering his Knight. He gives up ...
Magnus Carlsen wins without distinction — Magnus Carlsen won the London Classic and confirmed his world No1 status, yet paradoxically the Norwegian seemed, compared with the chess legends Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov in their pomp, far from his personal zenith. Carlsen impressed in his opening win against Vlad Kramnik, which ultimately settled first prize, and in the later stages of his next win from Luke McShane. But in the remaining five rounds he stuttered his way to victory. He could have lost to Michael Adams, had two or three other dubious positions and missed a simple win in the puzzle below. Still the 19-year-old's No 1 spot in the January world chess rankings will fulfil the target set by his coach Kasparov. Kramnik ...
Veteran Has Staying Power, but 19-Year-Old Will Be No. 1 — Two of the biggest chess events of the year ended last week with champions who are at very different stages of their chess careers. In Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia, Boris Gelfand of Israel captured the World Cup, outlasting a field of 128 players. Though he is No. 7 in the world, and will be No. 6 when the new chess rankings come out on Jan. 1, Gelfand, 41, is not likely to be an elite player for many more years, particularly when chess is increasingly a young man’s game. His staying power — he has been among the world’s best chess players for two decades — is unusual. With the victory in the World Cup, Gelfand has qualified for the candidates’ matches to select a challenger for ...
