  • Chasing the King (Part 2)

    Last week I showed a couple of examples of a king hunt. This week we will see another example of a deposed king being chased across the board. First it somewhat willingly steps into the center, with the leader of the white pieces hoping that his o... | Read More

  • Q&A with Coach Heisman May 10, 2013

    A viewer asked if, in the Ruy Lopez, White should play 5.d3 or 5.O-O after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6: I responded that while 5.d3 is currently fashionable among some higher level players, that does not make it better. Top GMs are only... | Read More

  • The Power of Positional Chess (Part 2)

    I’m going to come clean here. It’s time to let the cat out of the bag and admit to something strange and weird. It concerns my chess, and it’s about a particular chess move. No, I’m not going to wax poetic about a favorite opening or favor... | Read More

    • Anand marvelous attack against naked king.

      It is always wise to put a defensive piece or two around your king because you will never know when your opponent strike. It will be deadly when all your pieces are far away, eventhough you might win materials in the process. Even your opponent di... | Read More

    • Scandinavian Open Round 1

      I had an interesting selection of games. I could have gotten at least 6 if not 7 points if I had played well and not taken advantage of my opponents mistakes.  Two magnificent games which I dominated. To be continued... | Read More
