Introduction
If both sides play perfectly, th€re can be oo wloners or
losers in chess. Chess haa aaiDtalned lts eppeal preclsely
because it cannot be fully dastered, It is slmply too
compllcated!
No player has ever sqcceeded lD totally eradlcatlng
earors fro& hls play, Kasparov still ma.kes many inaccuracies
(though fewer tha! his coatemporaries). In fact, the only way
to avoid lElstakes ls to give up chess! Since we are not
prepared to resort to this extreme m€asure, it is necessa4/ to
find ways of reducing the fr€quency aod seriousness of our
elTors.
I hope the following tuide to 'Typtc.l Ml.t l.€!' wlll
help you ln yoqr quest towardr lhe'llluslon of perfect play'.

Once he avoids leaving pieces and pawns en pfise, Lhe
beginner has completed the first stage of his chess develop-
meDt. Of course, this does not mean that the strontest
playera are immune from simple error6.
Lasker v Euwe
NottinghatD 1936
Here, rather than move his kdght, Euwe counter-
attacked with 23 ... AaS Euwe records that Lasker wrote.23 ...

another question mark and then played 24 b4! Euwe resigned

attack.
'Havint beed foiled on the queenside White tries again on the
kingside. Oddly, Black, although he appa.rently saw the first

As soon as we have learned to avoid throwing away

come to the fore. The 'sins' here are:

The begirher has to learlr about the power of pins and
forke. Thls is a somewhat painful business. The knight in
particular is a terror to the tyro.
