Candidate Moves Part 2

Hello everyone! Back to candidate moves . 

If you missed my introduction to them, go here: Part 1 Candidate moves

So, I will go over some games where people have been "in love" with one move, and have forgotten to look at other choices.

:

He forgot all about his past pawn here.

 Lack of dreamland here.

Those were some examples of games where 2500 and 2600 GMs like one move too much, and don't consider others. CANDIDATE MOVES ARE NECESSARY! 

Tips: 

1.  When you are calculating in crazy positions, think back to "CMAN".

CMAN stands for: CANDIDATE MOVES ARE NECESSARY!

                         2. Don't make it too hard for you, limit the candidate moves to a maximum of 4.

3. When you are practicing, use notebook paper to list out the candidate moves and variations. (Trust me, it makes it cleaner)

CALCULATION PUZZLE!!!!!!!!

The puzzle from last time:

The Correct move is Qb2! 1. Qa1 fails to 1. Ng4!!

Again, if you didn't see episode one, some of this episode, might not make sense. Go back to see episode one here: CANDIDATE MOVES EPISODE ONE
