1. From: Dan ScoonesMoments when you should sense DANGER in chess:There has been a change in the pawn structure. Your opponent has 8 and you don't have any.Your opponent begins to throw pawns at your eyes.You have a postion won but your opponent has a gun.The Director tells you not to bother turning in your scoresheet after the game.Before game begins you notice your opponents 1st initialsare 'GM'.After completing your development you sense your opponent playing the endgame. |
