5 Black Double Fianchettos In Process FTB Ev
Compiled by fredthebear
--*--

The intent is for Black to play b6 or b5 and g6 or g5. Complete fianchettoes may never materialize. Or, some form later after a bishop relocation.

This is a mostly unedited collection split. Many White fianchetto games need to be removed, particularly English/Reti games. Sight under construction by Fredthebear.

"May the sun bring you energy by day,

May the moon softly restore you by night,

May the rain wash away your worries,

May the breeze blow new strength into your being.

May you walk gently through the world

and know its beauty all the days of your life."

Apache Blessing

"I should never have surrendered. I should have fought until I was the last man alive." — Goyahkla a.k.a. Geronimo (1829-1909), a POW for 23 years

"In chess, as in life, a man is his own most dangerous opponent." — Vasily Smyslov

"Chess is a matter of delicate judgment, knowing when to punch and how to duck." ― Bobby Fischer

"Customer experience better be at the top of your list when it comes to priorities in your organization. Customer experience is the new marketing." ― Steve Cannon

"Make your marketing so useful, people would pay for it." ― Jay Baer

'As you sow so shall you reap

"Quality in a service or product is not what you put into it. It is what the customer gets out of it." ― Peter Drucker

"Building a good customer experience does not happen by accident. It happens by design." ― Clare Muscutt

"Exceptional customer experiences are the only sustainable platform for competitive differentiation." ― Kerry Bodine

"The interests of the state must come first." ― King Louis XVI of France

"There is nothing more corrupting, nothing more destructive of the noblest and finest feelings of our nature, than the exercise of unlimited power." ― William Henry Harrison

"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." ― Abraham Lincoln

"The constitution regulates our stewardship; the constitution devotes the domain to union, to justice, to defense, to welfare, and to liberty. But there is a higher law than the constitution, which regulates our authority over the domain, and devotes it to the same noble purposes. The territory is a part, no inconsiderable part, of the common heritage of mankind, bestowed upon them by the Creator of the universe. We are his stewards, and must so discharge our trust as to secure in the highest attainable degree their happiness." ― William H. Seward

"I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for public charity." ― Franklin Pierce

"I do not wish to shed a drop of blood, but 'I must fight the course.' Tis all that's left to me." ― John Wilkes Booth

"Life makes concessions for no one; it's up to each of us to learn from our experiences; laugh; cry; scream; shout; do whatever it takes to let it out; the important thing is to get it out...move on...and live life...life waits for no one either." ― Mary Surratt

"Amberley excelled at chess—one mark, Watson, of a scheming mind." ― Arthur Conan Doyle

"Chess is 99 percent tactics." ― Richard Teichmann

"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat." ― Sun Tzu

"Chess is the art of analysis." ― Max Euwe

"Confuse the enemy. Keep him in the dark on your intentions. Sometimes what seems a victory isn't really a victory and sometimes a defeat isn't really a defeat. Whether in attacking, counterattacking, or defensive tactics, the idea of attacking should remain central, to always keep the initiative." ― Vo Nguyen Giap

'An army marches on its stomach

"Chess is a game of delicate judgment, intelligence, and patience." ― Pal Benko

"A knowledge of tactics is the foundation of positional play. This is a rule which has stood its test in chess history and one which we cannot impress forcibly enough upon the young chess player. A beginner should avoid Queen's Gambit and French Defence and play open games instead! While he may not win as many games at first, he will in the long run be amply compensated by acquiring a thorough knowledge of the game." ― Richard Reti

"Amateurs study tactics; professionals study logistics." ― Omar N. Bradley

"Stay flexible. Be ready to transform advantages from one type to another." ― GM John Nunn

"Firmness in support of fundamentals, with flexibility in tactics and methods, is the key to any hope of progress in negotiation." ― Dwight D. Eisenhower

"Against Alekhine you never knew what to expect. Against Capablanca, you knew what to expect, but you couldn't prevent it!" ― George Thomas

"I have known many chess players, but among them there has been only one genius - Capablanca! His ideal was to win by maneuvering. Capablanca's genius reveals itself in his probing of the opponent's weak points. The slightest weakness cannot escape from his keene eye." ― Emanuel Lasker

"If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck." ― John Steinbeck

"I've played a number of interesting novelties lately. Mostly that's because I haven't got a clue what I am doing in the opening." ― Nigel Short

"When you see a good move – WAIT! – look for a better one." ― Emanuel Lasker The Portuguese chess player and author Pedro Damiano (1480–1544) first wrote this in his book "Questo libro e da imparare giocare a scachi et de li partiti" published in Rome, Italy, in 1512.

"Without technique it is impossible to reach the top in chess, and therefore we all try to borrow from Capablanca his wonderful, subtle technique." — Mikhail Tal

"I was brought up on the games of Capablanca and Nimzowitsch, and they became part of my chess flesh and blood." — Tigran Petrosian

"Capablanca was among the greatest of chess players, but not because of his endgame. His trick was to keep his openings simple, and then play with such brilliance in the middlegame that the game was decided - even though his opponent didn't always know it - before they arrived at the ending." — Robert Fischer

"If the student forces himself to examine all moves that smite, however absurd they may look at first glance, he is on the way to becoming a master of tactics." — C.J.S. Purdy

"The tactician knows what to do when there is something to do; whereas the strategian knows what to do when there is nothing to do." — Gerald Abrahams

"Examine moves that smite! A good eye for smites is far more important than a knowledge of strategical principles." — C.J.S. Purdy

"I offer neither pay, nor quarters, nor food; I offer only hunger, thirst, forced marches, battles and death. Let him who loves his country with his heart, and not merely with his lips, follow me." ― Giuseppe Garibaldi

"In chess, as in life, you have to fight for what you want." ― Garry Kasparov

"All around me is cowardice and deceit." ― Nicholas II of Russia

'Attack is the best form of defence

Admiral Farragut upon entering Mobile Bay "Damn the torpedoes. FULL SPEED AHEAD!" ― David Farragut

"It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently." ― Warren Buffett

"A thorough understanding of the typical mating combinations makes the most complicated sacrificial combinations leading up to them not only not difficult, but almost a matter of course." ― Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch

"If you don't care, your customer never will." ― Marlene Blaszczyk

"Always remember that everyone with whom you have a relationship has an invisible sign on their forehead that says ‘Make Me Feel Important.' Treat them accordingly" ― Eric Philip Cowell

"Loyal customers, they don't just come back, they don't simply recommend you, they insist that their friends do business with you." ― Chip Bell

"If you are not taking care of your customers, your competitor will." ― Bob Hooey

'Ask a silly question and you'll get a silly answer

"Chess is all about stored pattern recognition. You are asking your brain to spot a face in the crowd that it has not seen." ― Sally Simpson

Fred Wilson explains in "303 Tricky Chess Tactics": "A combination is a tactical maneuver in which you sacrifice material to obtain an advantage, or at least to improve your position. So, strategy then, is your general plan, while tactics are your specific means of carrying it out."

"For me the starting point for everything - before strategy, tactics, theories, managing, organizing, philosophy, methodology, talent, or experience - is work ethic. Without one of significant magnitude, you're dead in the water." ― Bill Walsh

"Persistence isn't using the same tactics over and over. Persistence is having the same goal over and over." ― Seth Godin

"If you don't play to win don't play at all." ― Tom Brady

"Every time you win, you're reborn; when you lose, you die a little." — George Allen

"Winning is the science of being totally prepared." — George Allen

"What you do in the off season determines what you do in the regular season." — George Allen

"People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit." — George Allen

"Try not to do too many things at once. Know what you want, the number one thing today and tomorrow. Persevere and get it done." — George Allen

"Forget the past – the future will give you plenty to worry about." — George Allen

"We learn by chess the habit of not being discouraged by present bad appearances in the state of our affairs, the habit of hoping for a favorable change, and that of persevering in the search for resources." ― Benjamin Franklin

'April showers bring forth May flowers

"When a player keeps a calm demeanor on the court, it's easier for his ability to shine. The best response to an opposing player's physical or psychological tactics is to keep cool and come right back at him with the force of your game, not your fists. Revenge is always sweeter if your team wins the game." ― Walt Frazier

"I've never met a checkers player I didn't like; they're all even-tempered. Chess players are egotistical. They think they're intellectuals and that everyone else is beneath them." ― Don Lafferty, draughts grandmaster

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Why the long face?"

Established in: 1851

San Luis has a predominately Hispanic population of less than 700 people, and so the town features a very strong Spanish influence. It was once part of four Spanish land grants decreed by the King of Spain, and a classic adobe architecture and Spanish town layout remain.

The Kings of Chess: A History of Chess, Traced Through the Lives of Its Greatest Players by William Hartston William Hartson traces the development of the game from its Oriental origins to the present day through the lives of its greatest exponents - men like Howard Staunton, who transformed what had been a genteel pastime into a competitive science; the brilliant American Paul Morphy, who once played a dozen simultaneous games blindfold; the arrogant and certified insane Wilhelm Steinitz; the philosopher and mathematician Emanual Lasker; Bobby Fischer, perhaps the most brilliant and eccentric of them all; and many other highly gifted individuals. Hartson depicts all their colorful variety with a wealth of rare illustrations.

The Chess Cafe II

When I was young, when I was young,
In chess my soul was buried quite;
Imaginary problems hung
Suspended o'er my bed at night:
In games of chess I gained sublime
Incognisance of space and time.
Now I am old, now I am old,
My furnaces of joy are cold –
My mental galleons, no more
Divine, now cruise a homelier shore.>

"We repeat again: strength of character does not consist solely in having powerful feelings, but in maintaining one's balance in spite of them. Even with the violence of emotion, judgment and principle must still function like a ship's compass, which records the slightest variations however rough the sea." ― Carl von Clausewitz

"Peace won by compromise is usually a short-lived achievement." ― Winfield Scott

Country mile Bears frosh BB practice on the GO! Do what needs doin' w/a sense of urgency. Be captain obvious; it aint rocket science. Tell, then DO and be quick about it. COTF. DWW. Keep the line moving; a little dab will do ya. Look like a winner, act like a winner, think and talk like a winner. Don't overthink it, don't over explain it. Stop and start on time, drill 'em hard, and send home tired but hopeful; always finish on a joyous moment or positive note. Organizations, preparation and repetition determines who will far more often than lady luck. K.I.S.S. Do a few things well. Don't beat yourself with mistakes repeated mistakes. Play hard, fast aggressively, play by the rules, play together, all for one and one for all; avoid analysis by paralysis. A leader has a vision, a plan, energy and enthusiasm, and listens but doesn't pull back the reigns when the going gets tough. Be the true believer, commissioned with a mission when others doubt.

Ellison wrote:

Kamikaze
Two rows of a faceless infantry
fall into line;
I am their general
for this callous battle.

Overlords awaken;
their mirrored armies in meager shadow
to these giants that have played
the game of winning before.

The front rank advances slowly,
private by private; caressing the
battlefield as if never to return again.
The cavalry cry out into the night,
A horse's metallic neigh that pierces through
to the other side's defenses,
and the surrounding warriors join in for the hunt.

A piece for a piece;
The desperate deal is made
between the masters of their
horrified soldiers.
Do I dare repeat
such insidious acts within my fleet?

The crown shakes with fear,
for the opposing ranks are drawing near.
Towering higher than the castles upon the deck,
I make my way to the monarch in check;
Swords left littered across the field
as the fires of carnage have dwindled low,
but trampling through grief, groans, and woe,
The other side is forced to yield.

King Richard I of England

Richard I was shot through the shoulder with a crossbow outside of Chalus Castle in France in March 1199. The injury was serious, but survivable—but the infection that followed it was not. He died two weeks later on April 6. His heart was buried separately from the rest of his body.

As for the arrow that brought down Richard the Lionheart? It was a lucky shot over the side of the castle from a young boy. It became immortalized as "the lion by the ant was slain."

Richard I pardoned the archer who shot him.

"Holy Sonnet 10: Death, Be Not Proud"
by John Donne (1572-1631)

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me. From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow, And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then? One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

Proverbs 14:29-35

29 He who is slow to anger has great understanding, But he who is quick-tempered * exalts folly.

30 A tranquil heart is life to the body, But passion is rottenness to the bones.

31 He who oppresses the poor taunts his Maker, But he who is gracious to the needy honors Him.

32 The wicked is thrust down by his wrongdoing, But the righteous has a refuge when he dies.

33 Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, But in the hearts of fools it is made known.

34 Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people.

35 The king's favor is toward a servant who acts wisely, But his anger is toward him who acts shamefully.

Friendly Tree, This Is Your Day
By Annette Wynne

Friendly tree, this is your day,

So we'll stop our work and play

And talk of you,

And all the things that you do.

Standing still and quiet there,

Sending branches into air,

Making pleasant shade around,

Delving far beneath the ground,

Holding all year safe from harm

Little nest within your arm,

Keeping firmly where you are,

Reaching up to touch a star,

Growing, working, just as I,

Seeking God within the sky.

Prayer for Your Children
Lord, I release my children to Your care and protection, and I relinquish my will for them in favor of Your will. I know I can't go everywhere my child goes, but I know you do. Please protect them.Give us wisdom for how to parent well. Give us peace in Your goodness toward our children and your love for us. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

"It's a great huge game of chess that's being played—all over the world—if this is the world at all, you know. Oh, what fun it is! How I wish I was one of them! I wouldn't mind being a Pawn, if only I might join—though of course I should like to be a Queen, best." — Lewis Carroll Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898)

Aristotle once asked "What is it about a thing that makes a thing what it is?"

"To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born, is to remain always a child." ― Cicero

And Gukesh does not have to worry about any of the previous classical world champions, i.e.

- https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xvZ7...

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqx... - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4C0O...
- https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0v6R...

If Gukesh remains the top ranked classical player in his own country throughout the next five years, he'll be doing very well. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dOUK...

Of course, the GOAT won the US Junior Championship AND the US Open in the same year, at just 14 years of age. Let's listen to CGs member Jerry explain Fischer's supernatural brilliance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vW...

What does Gukesh think? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VFi1...

It's been rumored that Fischer developed his early competitive instincts from watching old 16 mm b-w reruns with his sister: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh3...

Those film days were of course well before Bonanza, Barbie dolls, Bell-bottom pants, Culver's, skateboarding, polyester, lava lamps, Gilligan's Island, Green Eggs and Ham, hoola hoops, Rubik's Cube, Runza, Tang, the '69 Miracle Mets (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuS... ) Scooby-Doo and the moon landing. Youth had to be rather tough way back then, although Malt-O-Meal, popsicles, and Flexible Flyer sleds did exist long before commercial plastic bottles.

Nowadays, a typical kid who has spent (wasted) 10x more time playing violent video games instead of reading books gets one of those professional assessment alphabet labels, a doctor's prescription, and a free pass to wear earbuds, vape, and misbehave in school due to his disability. (Have you seen those nutz with emotional support service alligators boarding airplanes?? Talk about systemically Woke Neo-Nazis. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bmzk... ) No wonder 2/3rds of the current USA public school population has diabetes. Now Tuberculosis has made a comeback just before Trump took office. Suspicious, very suspicious.

My Papaw was on the road a lot when FTB was young, so my Grandpaw instilled bravery in FTB by having me watch this old movie, along with other Audie Murphy westerns: https://www.bing.com/videos/rivervi...

Grandpaw also showed me The Alamo movie, but that's the one my mother always told me "Son, it's better to be a live chicken than a dead duck." FTB just never quite got that one, but me never ate fowl at Christmas dinner thereafter, just to be on the safe side. Grandmaw made real good homemade rolls, and plenty of 'em, so double up if still hungry (if she put away the candy jar).

That just goes to show that we are all products of our environment to a great extent, but Fischer seemed to be a tremendous natural if not exceptionally highly motivated. Living in the chess mecca of New York city had to be an enormous boost.

The fair or below average Bob today might try the book "Chess Tactics" by Paul Littlewood, or something similar to boost his chess: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?... Batsford came out with the third edition in 2005, so you can probably find a cheap used copy at your local used bookstore, if COVID-19 did not close it down permanently. It's available on Kindle for $12.95 which seems a bit high if you ask FTB. Al Woolum's "Chess Tactics Workbook", now in its 5th edition is respectable too. Susan Polgar has some good puzzle books available. These could be incorporated into a sensible "woodpecker" https://www.youtube.com/shorts/upmD... training method (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1k... ), but the common player would probably go further faster solving just three beginner/intermediate books of 300 puzzles each repeatedly than slogging through 10,000 challenging combinations.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VDRR... You gotta SEE the target (pattern recognition) before you can HIT the target: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wwi... It takes plenty of regular practice to spot the dots from the trots, and then stay sharp, real SHARP.

One could probably skip my influential war movies too, but some WWF wrestling will instill that fighting spirit! Killer Kowalski, or Ric Flair, anyone?

"I always use only the openings that bring fruitful results in practice, regardless of the positions arising in the middle-game." ― Jose Raul Capablanca

"The ideal in chess can only be a collective image, but in my opinion, it is Capablanca who most closely approaches this... His book was the first chess book that I studied from cover to cover. Of course, his ideas influenced me." ― Anatoly Karpov

"You may learn much more from a game you lose than from a game you win. You will have to lose hundreds of games before becoming a good player." ― Jose Raul Capablanca

"Whereas Anderssen and Chigorin looked for accidental positions, Capablanca is guided by the logicality of strong positions. He values only that which is well-founded: solidity of position, pressure on a weak point, he does not trust the accidental, even if it be a problem-like mate, at the required moment he discovers and carries out subtle and far-sighted combinations..." ― Emanuel Lasker, 2nd classical official world chess champion

"I was brought up on the games of Capablanca and Nimzowitsch, and they became part of my chess flesh and blood." ― Tigran V. Petrosian, 9th classical official world chess champion

"Capablanca possessed an amazing ability to quickly see into a position and intuitively grasp its main features. His style, one of the purest, most crystal-clear in the entire history of chess, astonishes one with its logic." ― Garry Kasparov, 13th classical official world chess champion

"We can compare Capablanca with Mozart, whose charming music appeared to have been a smooth flow. I get the impression that Capablanca did not even know why he preferred this or that move, he just moved the pieces with his hand. If he had worked a lot on chess, he might have played worse because he would have started to try to comprehend things. But Capablanca did not have to comprehend anything, he just had to move the pieces!" ― Vladimir Kramnik, 14th classical official world chess champion

"I have known many chess players, but among them there has been only one genius - Capablanca! His ideal was to win by maneuvering. Capablanca's genius reveals itself in his probing of the opponent's weak points. The slightest weakness cannot escape from his keene eye." ― Emanuel Lasker

"I think Capablanca had the greatest natural talent." ― Mikhail Botvinnik

"Beautiful, cold, remorseless chess, almost creepy in its silent implacability." ― Raymond Chandler (on a Capablanca game)

"Capablanca was among the greatest of chess players, but not because of his endgame. His trick was to keep his openings simple, and then play with such brilliance in the middlegame that the game was decided - even though his opponent didn't always know it - before they arrived at the ending." ― Robert Fischer

"When a match is over, I forget it. You can only remember so many things, so it is better to forget useless things that you can't use and remember useful things that you can use. For instance, I remember and will always remember that in 1927 Babe Ruth hit sixty home runs." ― Jose Raul Capablanca

The 1927 New York Yankees are often considered the greatest professional baseball team of all time. They finished the season with a record of 110-44, winning their fifth pennant and finishing 19 games ahead of the Philadelphia Athletics. The team was managed by Miller Huggins and played at Yankee Stadium. They won the 1927 World Series, sweeping the Pittsburgh Pirates with the greatest of ease. Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs for the team, while Tony Lazzeri and Lou Gehrig hit 20 or more. https://www.baseball-almanac.com/te...

<<<"The Purple Cow" by Gelett Burgess> I never saw a purple cow,
I never hope to see one,
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one!>

This short quatrain was a hit in 1895, when Gelett Burgess first published his now-famous poem for kids. Despite starting his career as an academic, artist and even railroad worker, he rose to fame as a humorist and author. In the 1900s, he published a handful of children's books, though he remains best known for this silly nonsense poem.>

Fifteen percent concentrated power of will

"There is nothing so confining as the prisons of our own perceptions." ― William Shakespeare

"If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else." ― Marvin Gaye

"If you make it a habit not to blame others, you will feel the growth of the ability to love in your soul, and you will see the growth of goodness in your life." ― Leo Tolstoy

"The most important thing in life is to stop saying 'I wish' and start saying 'I will.' Consider nothing impossible, then treat possibilities as probabilities." ― Charles Dickens

"Friend, you don't have to earn God's love or try harder. You're precious in His sight, covered by the priceless blood of Jesus, and indwelt by His Holy Spirit. Don't hide your heart or fear you're not good enough for Him to care for you. Accept His love, obey Him, and allow Him to keep you in His wonderful freedom." — Charles F. Stanley

Psalm 107:1
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; his love endures forever.

"The Lord is first, my friends are second, and I am third." ― Gale Sayers

<<Lasker's Secret Principle:>

"He (Emanuel Lasker) told me that this principle of controlling as many squares as possible was his guide at every stage of the game.

He said "In the majority of cases it is probably best to have Knight and Bishop on squares of the same color, because then they control squares of opposite colors."> ― Edward Lasker, Chess Secrets I Learned from the Masters

A master craftsman
So gifted at his game
A physical transformer
Rarely looking the same
At the peak of his powers
Much warranted acclaim
Awards and the big money
He paid the price for his fame
From rebels to the sensitive
No limits to his range
He gives each role his all
Winning us over again and again
For over five decades now
Privileged to witness the best
The thespian king of kings
Mr Sean Penn - I am impressed

'Before (Alekhine) left the States the Champion was induced to say whom he thought likely challengers for his title in the future. He named two Americans, Kashdan, who was favourably known in Europe already, and R Fine, whose achievements so far were mainly in his own country, and the Czecho-Slovakian, Flohr.'>
