Many Great Chess Masters has come and go and they live behind,So many Chess Ideas that forever be part of chess.note,that all that i will state here are not only quotes,some are ideas i discern on my own study of their games.ChessTrainor.You can add anything that you discover on your own studies of masters,Let us learnand share.Same.
Concept of Centralization
If your pieces are centralize,you can dispatch them easily to the left and right side of the board.If your pieces are not centralize,you can only position them to where you are and in the middle,so small coverage of pieces.In the shuffle of pieces,if you cannot activate a piece as if you are a piece down and will be at a disadvantage and would likely lose.ChessTrainor.
Standing your Ground(Bobby Fischer)
I learned this from the games of Fischer.He seldom retreat or putback his pieces from the 3rd and fourth rank.He may trade pieces just to replace it but still holding the ground.CT.
Exchanging Pieces of less use or minimal value(Kasparov)
If you are able to trade or exchange piece that has less use or no value in terms of key square,then you are at an advantage especially if that piece is exchange with an already develop piece of the opponent.Your position becomes stronger and your opponent weaker.CT.
Bending the Rules!(Petrosian)
Principles of chess must be mastered first or known before you bend them.CT.
Look for the winning move,then Neutralize it!(Capablanca)
In the endgame strategy,analyze the winning move of your opponent,if he is able to move it he would surely win,foil that,so he cannot win .Therefore his chance is lose and draw while yours is Draw and Win!CT.
Innovation and Experimentation(Korchnoi/Morozevich)
Loves to innovate like b6,then Ba6>Korchnoi,Bringing the old Albin's Counter Gambit back to tournament circles>Morozevich.
interesting, but please learn to use the SPACE bar :-)
Everything Changes in the Endgame(Shirov)
Rules and principles varies in chess when in the endgame.
Mimicking is part of Chess(Euwe)
Mimicking is part of chess,and it seems amateurist style but eventually gets what it wants ,a won game.
Being updated, but knowing the Classics(Fischer)
Learning the new trend and the classics.Bobby studies both old and new.It means he is updated.
Modern Chess concepts prevails over long held chess principle(Kasparov)
Kasparov shows new move,like no pieces out only pawn moves,which defy the Opening objective of development of pieces.(CT)
Turning Small Advantages into a win(Soltis)
When small advantage accumulate or adds up it becomes a very big advantage.Like an open file with your rook(ADV>1),then it goes to the 7th rank(ADV>2) and then you add your other rook(ADV>3)It becomes a Battery.Big enough for a win.CT
