| | takchess: Can anyone explain what Purdy meant by this ?
The first sentence of an article by C.J.S. Purdy on page 250 of Chess World, November 1956:‘If asked what I found the most useful principle of chess I should unhesitatingly reply: Reserve the greater option.’ (3769)
‘Reserving options is always good, provided you don’t lose more options than you reserve, or concede a valuable option to your opponent.’ Source: C.J.S. Purdy, Chess World, August 1964, page 123. Thoughts? |

 | | moronovich: A strange wording indeed. The only thing that comes to my mind that makes sense is : Find a good move (keeping it in reserve) and then look for a better one. And if the better one doesn´t show up, then play the first move. This is a very practical aproach and a usefull piece of advice. Also in other matters in life ! ;) Cheers

| | takchess: @moro makes sense. good advice. wondering if it might also mean make the best move not immediately but when other pieces are in place. Those of us gambit players also see those good opportunities pass us by if we wait too long. |

Purdy, Chess World, August 1964, page 123. Thoughts?>
By "reserve", he means in the sense of "hold in reserve". One specific example of that I've found useful is when I can move a piece or a Pawn, and both seem about the same, I usually move the piece. Pawns can't move backwards, and their every move is a lost chance for that Pawn to attack/defend squares on the previous rank. More specifically, he probably he means more along the lines of "If you have a choice of a move that ends up trading Queens and a set of Rooks, or a Bishop move, move the Bishop.", as the major piece trade is "greater" in almost any sense you can think of. |

| | takchess: @OhioChessfan , Agreed. I had a copy of Purdy's guide to good chess at one point that I lent to someone (forgotten who ...) and I recall this was one of his main points . Great to see you and Moro oldtimers still here. take care. |

| | takchess: This is pretty much all book played out by Brause a number of times and one of the reason why white plays 12. Be3 . The Knight is well placed on b5 and can't be kicked by a6 due to the Mill seen below. [Event "Casual Rapid game"]
