I created this team to regroup chess players who believe in and appreciate chess psychology and sacrifices. My main concern is to abstain from this mechanical warfare (one battle after another on the chessboard) to focus instead on a psychological game. For chess players who are more active and more interested in the battle field, The Un_Orthodox for you would play only a secondary role.
What gives our team its unique and unorthodox character can be summarized in 5 points:
1. Chess Psychology: This is the predominant factor that will differentiate our group from other groups, including our main focus.
2. Chess books, quotes and articles: The second most important factor for this group will be the sharing of chess knowledge, including insights that will help us improve from a psychological standpoint.
3. Game Showcase: The purpose of "Game Showcase" is to correct our bad habits, blunders, and other chess pitfalls, by demonstrating this on the chess board.
4. Team matches: This includes Chess960 (or Fischer Random), unorthodox openings, standard chess and an introduction to chess variants.
5. Other chess relics: This includes all other resources that can be shared with our team such as chess stories or anecdotes, pictures, albums, videos, and more.
I hope this experience will be positive for all our members, and, I encourage all of you to share any interesting material for the benefit of this group.
For all other activities, and weekly updates, visit our homepage on a regular basis.
