| Dec-24-11 | | JoergWalter: Quote of the day:
<Where are their new objectives? If each player is capable of quick development, castling, and of not blundering any pieces away, what is there to separate the two sides?> The different colours? |
|
| Dec-24-11 | | Cibator: "Chess is not a simple game"
- M F Stean |
|
| Dec-25-11 | | JoergWalter: not to be misunderstood, I like Stean's little book "Simple chess". First sentence in the introduction:
<Don't be deceived by the title-chess is not a simple game-such a claim would be misleading to say the least-but that does not mean that we must bear the full brunt of its difficulty.> Why not simply find a better title? |

 | | GrahamClayton: <jahhaj>It seems accountancy paid better than professional chess. <jahhaj>,
Stean himself said that towards the end of his chess career, he was spending more time analysing games rather than playing them. His knowledge of structured analysis fits in well with taxation accountancy. Stean works with Baker Tilly: http://www.bakertilly.co.uk/contact... |

| May-12-15 | | TheFocus: <The most important feature of the Chess position is the activity of the pieces. This is absolutely fundamental in all phases of the game: Opening, Middlegame and especially Endgame. The primary constraint on a piece's activity is the pawn structure> - Michael Stean. |
