Opening theory may help you start well. Endgame knowledge may help you finish well. Tactical skill helps you win games and avoid losses. Tactics include pins, forks, removing the defender, attacking two pieces at the same time, and threatening to mate your opponent. The easiest path to tactical success is to recognize patterns that occur frequently in your favorite chess openings. Grandmasters know tactics and can easily slide from one opening to another.
Everyone knows a few positions. Heres 500 in the Ruy Lopez. Tactical knowledge helps you to improve your winning chances. Take your opponents pieces. Pick off the pawns. Mate the king! Dont rely on dumb luck .
How can dumb luck allow you to win? You can win a few games when your opponent makes dumb moves. Thats when your opponent gives up a piece for nothing. Youre lucky when your opponent fails to defend a mate in one. To advance, you need more than dumb luck. You need tactics. "Sit across from your opponent so that the sun shines in his eyes." [Well, they might get some Vitamin D and maybe a tan!] 2. "Make sure your opponent has had a full meal to make them sleepy". [Theres nothing like a chess game during a siesta...] Some may consider his priestly plans to be devious, but chess is a game. [Theres nothing like a chess game during a siesta...] Some may consider his priestly plans to be devious, but chess is a game.
To win games you try to deceive your opponent. Its fun! I won prize money with a Ruy Lopez in my first rated tournament in 1972. Ive played it over a thousand times in the last 48 years. The Spanish priest Ruy Lopez and I were both members of the clergy. I retired after 26 years in ministry. Keep the faith!
I assume you can read algebraic chess notation. The White pieces are positioned at the bottom of each diagram. Above each diagram note who can move and win. Its either White to play a tactical move or Black to play a tactical move. Some moves are simple and easy. Others are subtle and tricky.
Thats chess lots of obvious moves and lots of sneaky moves. Look at each diagram. Its a key position ready for a tactical win. The final moves are in bold with a brief analysis or comment. Chess engines were used to ensure the accuracy of analysis. Follow the moves in your mind .
The skill to visualize each new position without moving pieces improves your tactical strength. The point of this book is for you to discover moves that occur in the Ruy Lopez. This opening begins 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5. White threatens the tactic remove the defender which could (in theory) win a pawn after 3a6 4.Bxc6 dxc6 5.Nxe5. But then Black could counters with 5Qd4 with a double attack tactic on the Ne5 and the e4 pawn. White would save the knight and Black would regain the pawn.
In view of this White usually chooses a different fourth or fifth move. Games are arranged by ECO (Encyclopedia of Chess Openings) coding (C60 to C99) from less popular to more popular moves. White tends to win more than Black due to having the first move, but C78 and C89 seem to win a fairly high percentage for Black. The ideas in this book come from the Ruy Lopez, but take note: These same tactical patterns work in other chess openings too. Who has played the Ruy Lopez with success? Keep reading
