Introduction
What does ' dynamics of chess
strategy ' really mean and what does
it consist of? How can we use it in
our play and how can we control it
with our minds? These are very
exacting questions which I am
going to try to answer in this book.
This doesn't only mean the
individual specific solutions of
various situations in chess openings
- no, not by a long way. I would
like to point out that it is neither
exact calculation of variations nor
extensive knowledge of opening
theory that plays the most important
role in decision-making. Conclus­
ions are drawn more or less from
conceptual
strategic
measures,
created as a consequence of many
effects present on the board in
specific
situations;
also,
an
important part of the decision­
making comes from an ability to be
flexible enough to change one's
plans if the opponent' s reply or tiny
changes in the character of the
position demand this. In no case
will I highlight isolated strategic
principles, e.g. battle for the centre
and space, rapid and correct
development of pieces or healthy
pawn structure; my reasoning is not
focused on complicated positional
mechanisms, e.g. a systematic
struggle against the isolated pawn or
how and when some piece should be
exchanged. I will particularly try to
explain the links between all
important positional phenomena
and, especially, their state of flux!
Yes, goal-oriented systematic play
is a must - however, the art of
adjusting one ' s ' navigation ' due to
resulting changes and differences is
important as well. Indeed, your
actions may be compared to that of
a captain of a ship or a pilot. . . Even
a good footballer will only become
exceptional if he is able to use his
brilliant technique at a particular
moment and as a precise reaction to
events on the ground.
You may ask where the technique
of evaluating situations on the
chessboard is concealed. I would
say that primarily it lies in the
analytical-synthetic ability of all
chess players, in their capacity to
put together a large number of tiny
details
and
peculiarities
of
respective openings or positions in
order to create an integrated concept
of a satisfactory further plan of play.
In other words, the never-ending
seeking and finding of a strategic
balance in every decision.
After all, the exceptional ability of
the analytical-synthetic thinking and
imagination of certain prominent
chess players was noticed by some
psychologists many years ago.
Using contemporary language, we
could say that the issue is defined as
an intensive specific programming
activity aimed at the relationships
and events taking place on the 64
squares . . .
