Modern Chess Trend: The Double-Edged Pawn Push

Throughout all of chess history, so-called super tournaments have always had their own honorary place. That's why even today we still remember Hastings 1895, New York 1924, Montreal 1979, and many others.

What's the main attraction of all these tournaments? Is it all about the winners and beautiful games? Well, partially yes. However, we can argue that the average quality of the games played 100 years ago was not that high by the modern (computer) standard.

I think the main reason why these tournaments will always be analyzed and re-analyzed is because they give us a perfect snapshot of chess at that time. Just like an archeologist can tell you a lot about peoples' everyday life by some artifacts from each period in history, the games from the super tournaments give us a clear view of chess development. We can see all the chess trends of that time by analyzing the games of the best players.

Interesting, Isn't It???

Well, here, finishes the Weekly News! Hope you all Liked this News and Lets wait for Next Week News, Bye!
