This'll help. :thumbsup:Quote:
Run the game backwards and forwards until the concepts just jump out at ya.
(I usually take a snapshot of the board and then play both sides a few moves into the future to form a strategy and get a "feel" for the balance of forces.)
Sorry to be AWOL, been outta town on another big "emergency" project. Be done after the 4th if I'm not blown up in a fireworks-related mishap. :D
Heighdy ho! neighbor. W
Okay, I'm back. What an ordeal. Feel like a truck hit me.
Whatever devious attack I was planning is long forgotten. So, QKn -QB3.
I moved the board back to the coffee table so a dog might start assisting again. Please let me know if pieces migrate illegally. Damn illegal migrants! :cool:

Not the best place for her but at least she's off the back rank.
You forgot da plan?
Do what I do when I run off to another room and forget why before I get dere.
I backtrack looking for ragged edges of my derailed train of thought.
Works, sometimes.:)
This is an opportunity point.
Your next move is cricket-el.:D
Think it through, plan it well.
I pondered long, but cannot see
Whutchoo plan ta do to me?
Da Wary Weeze.:S1:
Unfortunately for me, you already had that piece there. :( (Last move you made.)
I'd post a pic of the board but mine has been upset by migratory waterfowl. :eek: And to think, last time I blamed my poor doggie. :o
This poor creature apparently crash-landed onto the chessboard. :sadcrying To the serfs in Weezard's kingdom, it probably looked like a portly dragon crushing the castle. :eek:

Perhaps he was blinded somehow. It appears his eyes are missing...:detective1:
Oh!
O-O-O
Castle, Queen's side.
[attachment=o222525]
Foiled by the proverbial duck blind, eh?
So, now, whutchu gonna do?
Bumfuzzled Weeze:stoned:
B - K3
Thanks for explaining your thinking in the castling scenario. I had just thought of it as a defensive move to hide the king. (duh) I see now that where you put the rook can be more significant, and that castling has excellent offensive potential.
Excellent!
That move completes the opening and we enter mid-game.
Now I'll cash in a little time advantage and annoy your knight.
B - Qkn5
On the surface, that is.
But, what is black really up to here?
Moved his bishop into enemy territory, for what?
To pin a knight?
So it seems.
But, some times a move is more about where a piece was.
(This music is not just notes, it's as much the spaces between the notes as it is their juxtaposition, yah?)
Study this position for a while and it will become obvious.
If not,:stoned: feel free to ask, before you move.:cool:
Good to have ya back.
Weeze.
Too quiet round here.
You must be up to something.:D
