"Win with grace, lose with dignity!" ― Susan Polgar

"What does it take to be a champion? Desire, dedication, determination, personal and professional discipline, focus, concentration, strong nerves, the will to win, and yes, talent!" ― Susan Polgar

"No matter how successful you are (or will be), never ever forget the people who helped you along the way, and pay it forward! Don't become arrogant and conceited just because you gained a few rating points or made a few bucks. Stay humble and be nice, especially to your fans!" ― Susan Polgar

* FTB says "Pawns are overrated until you reach an endgame. Then they become the focus. Of course, one should not play giveaway chess without compensation, so coddle your pawns (or get them the heck out of the way)." FTB would not expect GMs to agree completely.

* Pawn practice for beginners after they know the squares, rules: http://www.kenilworthchessclub.org/...

* Tip: Blockade weak pawns. Penetrate weak squares. (Research these chess terms until well-understood! Winners do such concepts over and over.) Blockade weak pawns. Penetrate weak squares.

* Basic fundamentals of a pawn break: https://chess-teacher.com/theory-of...

* Tip: Pawns and pawn structures are an acquired taste. (Fredthebear does not hesitate to recommend gambit openings to amateur players, as gambits often lead to lively games full of action because lines open quickly. Gambits are fun to play! Can you grab and maintain the initiative?) Do not buy a chess book all about pawns until you are a master candidate. Instead, check out chess books and videos on the middlegame. Middlegame books and videos will explain pawn basics and piece coordination; the two go hand-in-hand. Consistently apply what you already know, and don't worry so much about what you don't know yet. The better player often begins to dominate in the middlegame regardless of opening. IMHO, it's better to understand various MIDDLEGAME aspects than various pawn structures as long as you occupy the open lines in the pawn structure. While he's fiddling w/his pawns, you grip the center and pound 'em w/your pieces! Of course, you must seize open lines, avoid bad bishops, centralize your knight(s) and connect your rooks, form batteries and crossfires, etc.

* The pawn structure serves as a skeleton (road map?) for piece movement. Your pawns must allow your pieces to get out, but not allow the opponent in.

* What would you do against the Diemer-Duhm Gambit? Opening Explorer

* Unverified Blogger Comment from another site: Axel Smith's 'Pump Up Your Rating' has a wonderful section dedicated to pawn levers. Such a great book! 'Applying Logic in Chess' by Erik Kislik is gaining attention too.

* FTB has heard more than once that the book to get is "Soviet Middlegame Technique" by Peter Romanovsky. FTB has so many books that he has not gotten to Romanovsky yet. Before this should come "The Soviet Chess Primer" by Ilya Maizelis. Some of the world's best players say it is simply the best. FTB suspects you won't need any of his unsolicited advice after reading these two Soviet classics now available in English. Practical Chess Endings by Paul Keres, The Art of the Middle Game by Keres and Kotov, One Hundred Selected Games by Mikhail Botvinnik, and Zurich International Chess Tournament 1953 surely fits with these studies.

* Tips: Pawns are slow. Generally play w/your pieces much more than your pawns! Pieces are faster, threaten more squares to gain material; superior force should win. For example, the Bishop in the center threatens 14 squares, while a pawn threatens only two squares! Every pawn move should be necessary, for a useful lasting purpose, as the pawn cannot retreat to where it came from. The advanced pawn often requires passive protection for several moves. Pawns are often safest on their original square, or within two moves of their original square (this side of the frontier line). Strive to play aggressively. Use your minor pieces in the opening, and give all your pieces a job to do in the middlegame. Leave your castled king safely behind a compact pawn shield until the endgame arrives. Yes, make luft when necessary. The king and the outside pawns get moving in the endgame after so many pieces have been traded off. Perhaps a good time to advance pawns at any stage is when the opponent cannot seriously threaten your own king.

* Scholastic Curriculum: http://ilchess.org/non_joom/youthpd...

Beginners should have read a few general instruction books from the library, Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess, Kevin Starke, David McEnulty, Murry Chandler, etc. to gain some experience before Heisman straightens out your random, haphazard play and gives you something to think about. * Some algebraic notation books for studies up through Intermediates roughly in order of difficulty, top to bottom: - Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess by Fischer, et al. - Chess (Collins Need to Know?) by Tony Gillam. All the basics, too much so for younger readers. - Beginner's Guide to Winning Chess; Revised Edition w/Algebraic Notation by Fred Reinfeld. It's 213 pages with quizzes at the end of each chapter. - Simple Chess Tactics (and Checkmates) by Tony Gillam or A.J. Gillam. Reprints altered the cover title a bit. There's a basic thought process that's always applicable. - The Right Way to Play Chess by D.B. Pritchard. A best-seller. - Simple Attacking Plans by Fred Wilson. It's OK to use the Queen? Fred Wilson is a good chess teacher who makes his point clear without distractions. - Chess Basics by David Levins. The writing is informative but the king symbol needs a clear cross instead of a fountain pen look. - The Winning Way by Bruce Pandolfini. Activate your pieces to win. - Everyone's Second Chess Book by Dan Heisman. The title is too ambitious, but the material is must-know. Gain some experience before Heisman straightens out your random, haphazard play and gives you something to think about. - Your First Chess Games by A.J. Gillam or Tony Gillam. Lots of short examples, blunders, what not to do. It's better to read general instruction books as listed above before hurrying into this one. It's really not too wise to jump into lots of opening play too soon. - How to Beat (anyone) Your Dad at Chess by Murray Chandler. This hard cover book covers 50 deadly checkmate and stalemate patterns w/additional examples. FTB has recommended elsewhere that you speed skim each number diagram on the LEFT side of the page only, 1-50 in 5-10 minutes like flash cards for quick review of each pattern on a daily/weekly basis. You read/solve the additional examples on the right side another time after you have already speed mastered the 1-50 on the left side. This should yield significant improvement in a very time efficient manner for the dedicated self-trainer. Checkmate is checkmate; this one is good for kids and grown-up club players. You're training your mind for instant pattern recognition. When you can visualize so many different finishes, it assists your ability to create attacks to arrive there at a winning position. - Guide to Good Chess by CJS Purdy. He covers all the basics briefly in his own unique way, including pawns. Purdy, Lasker, Tarrasch, Marshall, Koltanowski, Minev, Neishtadt are heavy influences on FTB's thinking. We're ready to pounce on our prey! A sound, solid, equal position without misplaced pieces is nothing to sneeze at, because it remains ready to roll like a German Panzer division! - Instructive Chess Miniatures by Alper Efe Ataman. - Winning Chess: How to Improve Your Attacking Play by Irving Chernev and Fred Reinfeld. Revised by Batsford Chess into Algebraic Notation, ISBN# 9781849941563. - Attacking the King in the Center by Tony Gillam or A.J. Gillam. Set up a board and rehearse these games by hand! - Chess Made EASY by Milton Hanauer. This one is long form algebraic, a small nugget. Excellent examples for training! http://www.mpowers.com/books/chessm...
- Chess for Everyone by Al Lawrence. Don't let the pictures of kids fool you into thinking it's too simple. It's 244 pages, so it's no kid book but an earnest kid certainly can read it. FTB did the average club player a real favor by recommending this one. - A First Book of Morphy by Frisco Del Rosario. Stick with the king's pawn 1.e4 for awhile. - The Chess Doctor by Bruce Pandolfini. Easy lessons to clean up your own playing mistakes. - Improve Your Chess in Seven Days by Gary Lane. Lane writes interesting books. - Attacks on the Castled King by Tony Gillam. He breaks it down by file. - Common Sense in Chess by Emanuel Lasker, 21st Century Edition. Some of this book is basic material, some of it is more involved. - Endgame Play by Chris Ward. How'd this EG book make the list? Half the book is all about pawns in simple positions; it's a fairly easy read. This book will make you realize FTB is full of it and pawns are important because it's easy to win with an extra queen on a bare board. Snag a few extra pawns, trade off the like pieces, and promote a pawn, then checkmate w/the new queen. This is one winning approach that should function like clockwork. - Learn Chess Tactics by John Nunn.
- Power Mates by Bruce Pandolfini. King hunts in all types of openings. Fredthebear believes in knowing how to FINISH first, and then learning all the different ways to get there. - Honest to goodness, anyone who has read this list thus far a couple times each and included another book of tactics and checkmates should be able to reach Class B or A rating level. The reader has been spoon fed all three phases of a chess game, and then some. It's a matter of playing soundly and consistently applying basic fundamental concepts like controlling the center and protecting your pieces without moving a handful of pawns. - 101 Chess Questions Answered by Steve Giddins has a wide variety of topics. Club players will be enlightened in some aspects. - Practical Middlegame Techniques by Danny Kopec. That pawn stuff is in here. - End Games in Chess by Theo Schuster. It's only 64 pages. Don't you want to know "how one more pawn wins"? - Best Lessons of a Chess Coach by Sunil Weeramantry. His son proved Sunil knows what he's talking about. - The Art of Mastering Chess: A Complete Course for Beginners by GM Eduard Gufeld and others. It's better to have prior knowledge before tackling this one. "Art of Mastering" and "Beginners" really don't go together. - Better Chess for Average Players by Tim Harding. An underappreciated writer this side of the Atlantic. - Rudolph Spielmann: Master of Invention by Neil McDonald. Chapters by themes will help you get the big picture. There's a chapter on pawn power. - Chess Training by Nigel Povah. It's loaded with essentials. However, FTB does not think like a tree. FTB thinks about gripping the center, rapid development, and inflicting pain w/each and every piece (while avoiding pain by each and every opposing piece). What's the best move available for this piece? That piece? The major mistake in chess is simply overlooking what a certain piece can do next. Can it check, cut-off, capture, aim at/through 2, pile on to outnumber, blockade, etc. Then FTB compares each of the best possibilities of the pieces for the one best line of play. A good active move usually suggests follow-up moves if allowed. - FCO - Fundamental Chess Openings by Paul Van Der Sterren. After you play over a game -- your own game or a published game, you should look up the proper line of play. This will save you a TON of grief in future games by not messing up the opening (as long as you are disciplined enough to continue playing the same openings for familiarity). You don't have to get a winning position in the opening; just avoid making the wrong move and landing in a bad position. You should always know what will occur after an exchange in the opening, what line opens and who will seize it. - Chess The Art of Logical Thinking by Neil McDonald. Observe, think, plan, compare, decide, blunder check, then move. - The Giant Chess Puzzle Book by Zenon Franco. This has 1001 puzzles divided by themes with explanations and self-quizzes, ranging from easy to difficult. You'll have a good idea where you stand after this. When the positions get too difficult, move ahead to the next chapter and save the toughest material for next year. - ABCs of Chess by Bruce Pandolfini. It's not a starter book by any means. These are diverse magazine articles combined into a book. - Chess Fundamentals by Jose R. Capablanca. Not my favorite, but the concept of switching from targeting one weakness to another weakness is vital. - Pawn Power by Angus Dunnington. Yes, an uncomplicated book about pawns! Dunnington sticks to the same level of writing for his targeted audience. He does not jump around from club to GM level material like other authors sometimes do. - Pro Chess Videos 1&2 by Yasser Seirawan. More about pawns. - Most Instructive Games of Chess Ever Played by Irving Chernev. It's descriptive notation, but use this website to make the moves in algebraic notation as you read from the book. - From Beginner to Expert in 40 Lessons by Aleksander Kostyev. No, this book will not make you an expert by itself. This book would be world famous if it did that. You have to continue to study middlegames and endgames. - 101 Attacking Ideas in Chess by Joe Gallagher. Time is a crucial element in chess. Attack when and if it's available -- seize the moment, before the opponent makes corrections. Otherwise, make positional improvements for increased pressure and flexibility. - The Game of Chess by Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch, 21st Century Edition. This book sets the old standard for instructional excellence!! Don't get too caught up in the opening variations though. - Encyclopedia of Chess Wisdom by Eric Schiller. How much of this do you KNOW by now? How much of this do you read and UNDERSTND by now? You don't have to memorize it, but do reference it. - Pawn Sacrifice by Timothy Taylor. Some daring play in here. - 300 Games of Chess by Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch. Delightful! The more common Dover edition is descriptive notation, as most Dover books are. Get the Hayes Publisher's edition for algebraic. - Back to Basics Series fits about here. Mastering this material certainly should make one a candidate master. - Richard Reti's Masters of the Chessboard and Modern Ideas in Chess are classics, reprinted as 21st Century Editions. - Why You Lose at Chess by Tim Harding. Don't take losing so hard. Do ask a strong player to analyze your recorded games with you. - 50 Essential Chess Lessons by Steve Giddens. Each lesson is a master game. The games range from 1935 to 2005. I thought Mr. Giddens' annotations were very good. - Modern Chess Openings: 15th Edition by Nick De Firmian. This is a reference book; you don't read it from cover-to-cover. - Carlsbad International Chess Tournament 1929 by Aron Nimzowitsch. Yeah, FTB avoided Nimzowitsch because Tarrasch is a better writer language-wise. - New Ideas in Chess by Larry Evans. These ideas are not new anymore. Focus on the diagrams, the diagrams. Visualize how the game unfolds from there. The diagrams are underrated. - (The Petroff): Move by Move (Everyman Chess) by Cyrus Lakdawala. It does not have to be this specific book, but pick something by this author and read it! However, you'd better have a rock-solid Black defense to 1.e4 if you want to score well in tournaments. - 365 Chess Master Lessons by GM Andrew Soltis. FTB has previewed this one, but has not read it all. Soltis is a most experienced author. - The Art of Attack by Vladimir Vukovic, revised algebraic edition. It's loaded. - Nimzowitsch: A Reappraisal by Raymond Keene.
- Understanding Chess Move by Move by John Nunn.

(FTB left out book suggestions for tactics, combinations, checkmates, and endgames, all of which are more important than pawns. Did you research Weak Pawns and Weak Squares? No, you don't need Silman's books to understand that.)

- FTB says "Yes, pawns are the soul of chess. However, pins are the prick of chess. Don't get pricked by a pin. Tactics usually hit swifter than pawns do."

* There's a flip side to the coin...

Peligroso Patzer: from Aug-24-05

Chess is not so simple that it can be reduced to the application of reliable maxims (such as "all rook endings are drawn"). There are exceptions, such as this game: Alekhine vs Reti, 1922 In which Reti realized that exchanging rooks (with <57. … Rxg4!>) would assure him of a draw.

(FTB recommends learning the maxims anyway, and make note of the exceptions. Over the years, FTB has noticed that when an maxim does not apply, one player or the other usually has violated a maxim prior to. Violations beget exceptions of maxims; threats take precedence.)

Below is the acrostic poem by Mrs T.B. Rowland:

Tears now we sadly shed apart,
How keenly has death's sudden dart
E'en pierced a kingdom's loyal heart.

Dark lies the heavy gloomy pall
Upon our royal bower,
Kings, queens, and nations bow their heads,
Each mourn for England's flower.

Oh! God, to her speak peace divine,
For now no voice can soothe but thine.

Ah, why untimely snatched away,
Loved Prince – alas, we sigh –
Before thy sun its zenith reached
Athwart the noonday sky.
Noble in heart, in deed, and will,
Years hence thy name we'll cherish still.

That poem was published on pages 140-141 of Chess Fruits (Dublin, 1884)

"Many have become chess masters, no one has become the master of chess." ― Siegbert Tarrasch

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." ― Howard Thurman

"Debt is dumb. Cash is king." — Dave Ramsey

A jester, court jester, fool or joker was a member of the household of a nobleman or a monarch employed to entertain guests during the medieval and Renaissance eras. Jesters were also itinerant performers who entertained common folk at fairs and town markets, and the discipline continues into the modern day, where jesters perform at historical-themed events.

During the Middle Ages, jesters are often thought to have worn brightly colored clothes and eccentric hats in a motley pattern. Their modern counterparts usually mimic this costume. Jesters entertained with a wide variety of skills: principal among them were song, music, and storytelling, but many also employed acrobatics, juggling, telling jokes (such as puns, stereotypes, and imitation), and performing magic tricks. Much of the entertainment was performed in a comic style. Many jesters made contemporary jokes in word or song about people or events well known to their audiences.

Anyone can make you smile. But not everyone can make you happy. ― Joker
