Do You Know How To Move A Knight? It's time to learn!

    One day in the 1950's I watched Master George Koltanowski perform a blindfold 30 game chess presentation at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, California.

 

 

 

 

     I was impressed when he performed the Knights tour. The knight moves from the any starting position to another square never touching any square twice.

      I became a member of his Chess Friends Association and joined his chess club. We became friends.

      Here is one of the knights tour called The Turk it was a favorite of George Koltanowski's.


 

It is fairly easy and I have colored so that you can follow the sequence easier. Just copy it if you want them.

                                           Start at H8 with Black

                                           Change on D8 to Blue

                                          Change on F8 to Red

                                         Change on D4 to Green

                                Start with one color and just a board,

                                       eventually with no board.

                                                       Good Luck

        You are welcomed to copy this tours.

Yes, You play EXACTLY like a guy I know!  He would love this knight diagram LOL.  Let me guess you like the knight because it's hard to see sometimes where it can do?  and the early queen developing helps with a support mate with the queen and the knight?  :D, you must be my friends clone!  Do you do a lot of piece sacs to???? :D

Let me know if you want to play me, offer stands.  I'm well aware of a lot of queen early developing strategies so I think you will notice I won't fall for most of the tricks people that play like you love to do.  But who knows maybe you'll show me something new.  Plus I could blunder...  anyway I tried to challenge you but apparently you disabled that so I don't know if you have to challenge me or what the deal is...  Now I see why you would do a pawn sac that that one you did on the last game I commented on that you wrote a blog about!  I guess you, me, and my friend, have different styles.  I prefer a more book approach while you two favor wild and crazy piece sacs and early attacks with the queen.

Thanks for the comment and the analysis of my style. Actually I play like that because I dislike the long drawn out slow positional middle games. I don't know what to do and I don't have the patience to wait for blunders or mistakes on the opponents side.

I learned to play like that so that we could start another game. The friends that I learned to play with didn't want long games. I always assured them that the games would not be long drawn out. Also I learned to play against people that only knew how to move the pieces not to play chess.

The main problem I have is that if I try an openning and it might be six, seven moves, it seems that then I do not know how to proceed in the middle game and it just get messed up and crowded wether is in the middle of the board or on the sides.

I play game in group matches. I only tried a few tournament games and I didn't fare very well. Thanks a lot for the insight of my style that you gave me.
