Opposition Tactic-- OTB Examples
Compiled by ChessCoachClark
--*--

This game collection is intended for my beginning students. It provides 'grist for the mill' to open their minds to different cases that apply Opposition effectively in actual games. Understanding a tactic is the first step, recognizing it OTB and applying it is the second step of making it another of your chess skills. Now it's really in your toolbox and you are a better chess player.

This game collection is meant to be an umbrella group, that is, all types of Opposition will be presented. However, the main focus is on the Direct Opposition (DO), Rectangular Opposition (RO) and Diagonal Opposition (GO) tactics.

ChessCoachClark (CCC) originated this game collection in July of 2022 and he updates it on occasion. This project is a work in progress, culling games from various sources, including several chess training books and personal research. The games are ordered by date (oldest first), not by importance.

Be well.
Be safe.
