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.

I thought about what Finegold had said at the end of our first lesson. After we’d gone through a few of my games, he had nonchalantly asked me whether I’d like to know the secret of chess. “Um, sure,” I said. “Okay, I’ll tell you. But you’re not going to believe me,” he said. “And maybe you never will.” This was correct. I had no idea what to make of the secret of chess. And I definitely didn’t believe it. Only later, much later, when I was walking on a beach in California, did his words really strike me with their full force. |
