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'.

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

The begirher has to learlr about the power of pins and
