Copyright © 2021 Ammerbucher - All rights reserved. Technical tricks, or, following the original notion, chess Tiger’s tricks, as I understand it, are ways to make best use of all options, but without playing dirty. Yet to do so, a Tiger of co...

Copyright © 2019 Ammerbucher - All rights reserved. (Updated on May 5th, 2021*) Here is something Simon Webb probably would have liked very much. Again, it’s about the use of the Chess.com explorer. And I have a very important message here (ev...

Many things you can find and use here can be seen under the aspect of Simon Webb's approach to the game in his book "Chess for Tigers". So I got the idea to make a series about that.
I do not want to write about things like great openings, attacking schemes and other specific tactics. I am no pro. I am just a normal hobby player.
