1 7 mocnych punktów: czyli solidna gra w wykonaniu silnych graczy czy ty tez potrafisz stosować te same reguły oceny pozycji? Ostatnio obserwuje wypowiedzi silniejszych graczy (poziom ) i (na podstawie komentarzy) staram się podglądać ich sposób myślenia, oceny pozycji, planowania i liczenia wariantów. Na tej podstawie uznałem, że warto zwrócić uwagę na to w jaki sposób oceniają pozycję. Poniższa lista zawiera pytania z uwzględnieniem ważności danego pytania. Zaznaczam, że najczęściej w takiej samej kolejności przechodzą one przez filtr oceny pozycji przez mocnych graczy. Niekiedy oczywiście od razu przeskakują oni do dalszego pytania zwłaszcza jeśli widzą, że odpowiedzi na poprzednie nie są istotne dla obecnej pozycji. Oto siedem najbardziej istotnych punktów (pytań), które pojawiają się w głowie silnych zawodników: 1. Czy ruch jest czysty? Jeśli jest to podstawienie materiału, wówczas zwykle komentarz opiera się na krótkim stwierdzeniu: ten ruch traci X, Y, Z, gdzie za literę można sobie wstawić skrót od H, W, G, S czy piona. To kluczowy element po którym gra się kończy. Silniejsi zawodnicy niejako z marszu (od ręki) widzą jeśli coś zostało podstawione - zwłaszcza jeśli jest to 2-3 ruchowa (forsowna) operacja taktyczna. Bez czystej gry nie ma co marzyć o solidnym poziomie - jest to aktualne zwłaszcza obecnie: posiadamy odpowiednie narzędzia i tysiące analiz dotyczących taktyki, kombinacji oraz zadań do rozwiązywania. Dodam jedynie, że w obecnej chwili można bez problemu kupić książki (głównie w jęz. angielskim i rosyjskim) w których znajdziemy od 20 do zadań do rozwiązania. Nie trzeba dodawać, że jest to wystarczająca ilość, aby się nie nudzić przez co najmniej kilka dobrych lat (zakładając codzienne rozwiązywanie po minut). 2. Czy ruch pasuje do wymogów pozycji - czy jest zgodny z jej istotą (tzw. duchem pozycji). Skąd silniejsi gracze wiedzą o tym czy dane zagranie pasuje czy nie? Otóż dzięki setkom schematów oraz tysiącom rozegranych i przeanalizowanych partii (mistrzów i swoich) rozumieją i pamiętają jakiego typu ruchy są w danej pozycji najlepsze czy też konieczne. Jest to bardzo ważny element - silniejsi gracze często pytają: jakie zadanie (cel) ma ten ruch? Przed czym powstrzymuje przeciwnika lub też czym grozi? Jeśli ruch nie pasuje do żadnej z 2 kategorii, wówczas pojawia się komentarz: stracony ruch. 3. Czy można kolejnym ruchem zagrozić danemu (istotnemu) punktowi na szachownicy? Zwykle silni gracze czepiają się tak zwanych słabości. Jeśli widzą, że król jest słabo broniony, to pytają w jaki sposób mogą to wykorzystać. Rzecz jasna wszelkie słabości, które rzucają się w oczy są dla takich zawodników od razu zauważane. Wraz z pytaniem co grozi od razu zwykle pojawia się następne pytanie, którym próbują zahamować groźbę. Przykładowo: grozi Gxc3 z następnym Hxh7+ i Wh1 z matem. Jest obrona w postaci X lub Y.

2 4. Czy figury są aktywne i czy jest rekompensata jeśli jest strata materialna lub pasywnie stojące figury. Bardzo często silni gracze natychmiast wyłapują źle stojące i nic nie robiące figury. Natomiast przy stracie materialnej pytają jak można (szybko) przestawić w taki sposób figury, aby mogły być aktywne i tworzyć groźby. W przypadku nieco większej (decydującej) przewagi i braku rekompensaty pojawia się jedyny komentarz: pozycja jest przegrana albo brak jest rekompensaty i/lub kontry. 5. Czy możliwe jest przeprowadzenie planu zgodnego z optymalnym ustawieniem figur i maksymalnym wykorzystaniem ich potencjału? W tym wypadku silni gracze dostrzegają kluczowe aspekty pozycji i natychmiast mówią: teraz trzeba szybko otworzyć linię i następnie atakować po niej punkty X, Y, Z albo białe blokują piona i następnie zdwajają ciężkie figury lub zajmują linię X, Y, Z. 6. Czy dana pozycja po wymianie będzie dla mnie lepsza czy nie? Jeśli nie widać korzyści, wówczas czekamy na inną możliwość - nie wymieniamy nawet jednego piona! Bardzo istotne w przypadku silnych graczy jest to, że nie wykonują oni ruchów, które upraszczają pozycję - tak długo jak nie są do tego zmuszeni (brak wymiany spowoduje stratę) lub dopóki nie widzą istotnych korzyści z przeprowadzenia wymiany. Warto pamiętać, że utrzymywanie napięcia daje większe szanse na zrobienie błędu - przy okazji trzeba także stale zwracać uwagę na to co się stanie w przypadku serii wymian. Szalenie ważne jest to, że dla silnego gracza wymiana, która nie daje przewagi jest błędem! Tak, raz jeszcze powtórzę - KAŻDA wymiana, która nie daje korzyści jest błędem! Sprawia bowiem, że szanse na wygraną (na wymuszenie błędu) są coraz mniejsze. Są pozycje przy małej ilości bierek, które bez problemu zremisują średniej klasy zawodnicy nawet z mistrzem. 7. Czy dana pozycja wymaga ataku czy obrony? Jeśli trzeba się bronić to w jaki sposób przegrupować siły? Gdzie ustawić skoczka, w którym miejscu ma stać wieża, a jakie pozycje mają zając piony? Bardzo często silni zawodnicy pytają: czy można wymusić przejście do remisowej końcówki w której przewaga materialna nie będzie decydująca? Z kolei jeśli atakują to zadają sobie pytania: jak sprawić, aby przeciwnik nie mógł skutecznie odeprzeć ataku? Jak realizować przewagę, aby nie było konieczne dopuszczenie niebezpiecznej kontry? Która ze słabości będzie najłatwiejsza do wykorzystania? Powyżej podane zostały ogólne wskazówki do tego, aby zrozumieć w jaki sposób podchodzi do partii silny gracz. Jego ocena pozycji, wyszukiwanie ruchów oraz planowanie i liczenie wariantów opierają się na pewnym systemie, który stale poddawany jest ulepszeniom. Niektóre typu pozycji silniejsi zawodnicy potrafią bezbłędnie ocenić i rozegrać - bez względu czy będąc stroną atakującą czy broniącą się. Nie zapominajmy jednak, że zwykle za dużą siłą i zrozumieniem gry stoją setki godzin ćwiczeń, tysiące rozegranych partii oraz setki rozwiązanych zadań i przeanalizowanych partii (pozycji). Bardzo rzadko się zdarza znaleźć gracza, który jedynie za pomocą bardzo dobrej pamięci jest w stanie grać solidnie: zwykle przy różnych przeciwnikach (stylach oraz sile gry) szybko wychodzi to, kto potrafi grać a kto jedynie odtwarzać i przesuwać drewniane figurki.

3 Poniżej prezentuję przykładowy komentarze do jednej z partii dwóch amatorów po angielsku. Warto zwrócić uwagę na to jak bardzo pasuje powyższy schemat do silnych zawodników oraz jak słabsi zawodnicy pomijają istotne elementy (czy też zupełnie chaotycznie liczą warianty, popełniając błędy). W nawiasach podane obecne rankingi graczy. Zaznaczone na niebiesko (i podkreślone) są aktualne ruchy w partii. Po nich w nawiasie podany jest zużyty czas na każdy z nich.

Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: :o milpat(1930) whispers: he plays too fast, it smells mistakes ;) mindlin(2011) whispers: i'm not sure the bishops provide some comp wmahan(2019) whispers: Nd4 Re1!? hugozver(1902) whispers: I am sure Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: it's "some" comp, just not enough :< milpat(1930) whispers: white wants lsb x N ( or Nx lsb) Twikki(2067) whispers: Be4+ Kc1 Nd4 is nasty Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: his light bishop also is clearly inferior D: Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: darn i must find good things to say~ :< milpat(1930) whispers: haha 23...Be4+ (2:20) 24.Ka2 (0:48) Bd5+ (1:35)

6 Funkmaus(2272) whispers: go back and see if he wants a draw Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: guess it's just a torture repetition :< hugozver(1902) whispers: Kb1 Be4+, perpetual! jaberwock(2069) whispers: He probably just wants to gain time on clock 25.Kb1 (1:13) Bb3 (0:04) Nemisis(2113) whispers: Why would white try to draw this?! Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: it's always advantageous to repeat twice when you have the advantage~ :< Twikki(2067) whispers: inertia Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: and can deviate of course :p Nemisis(2113) whispers: He has a pretty good advantage here. Nemisis(2113) whispers: Just need some activity. Funkmaus(2272) whispers: psychologically - yes - checking if opp. wants a draw. But here is nothing to check: pretty clear that white is playing against the loss Nemisis(2113) whispers: Oh white is on a team that is down on points? Funkmaus(2272) whispers: No; its the first game - speaking of the current position 26.Rg3 (2:07) Bd1 (0:06) Nemisis(2113) whispers: eh. I have seen a lot of games where the bishop pair is worth two pawns if you have activity. Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: too blitzed milpat(1930) whispers: leave back rank is brave mindlin(2011) whispers: Bc4? Funkmaus(2272) whispers: impressive speed lol Nemisis(2113) whispers: And Bd1 was horrid. Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: black was certainly better 5 moves ago :< Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: now white may be awakening Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: GO!! 27.Bc4+ (0:42) milpat(1930) whispers: those move in 5 seconds...pff Ismirdochegal(2141) whispers: bc4 and white is very well in the game 27...Kf8 (0:07) milpat(1930) whispers: hope Wil does not enter in NT rythm Funkmaus(2272) whispers: g5! f5 Rh3 - and here comes the activity Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: think wil can beat him in blitz? :p Ismirdochegal(2141) whispers: g5 seems plausible Nemisis(2113) whispers: Yup. Or similar. Do you think h4 is good enough? Probably g5 is best. milpat(1930) whispers: g5 Ba4 Twikki(2067) whispers: Nd4 is probably useful for black 28.g5 (1:24) Nemisis(2113) whispers: Doesn't that lose a piece? Funkmaus(2272) whispers: GO!!!!! Nemisis(2113) whispers: Maybe I am blind today. Seems Nd4 Rd3 wins. Funkmaus(2272) whispers: Wil is alive and kicking Twikki(2067) whispers: Nd4 Rd3 Bc2+ Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: yes yes :o Nemisis(2113) whispers: oh right I am blind thanks Twikki. Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: why did he play Bd1 in 5 sec, i have no idea~ :p Nemisis(2113) whispers: Trying to trade down to an inferior positions.:-) Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: now the lsb roles are inverted ~ white's bishop is clearly superior milpat(1930) whispers: with 40 min on clock lol Nemisis(2113) whispers: Possibly doesn't know a bishops power grows in the endgame when a knights weakens? milpat(1930) whispers: some peoples tend to think only when they are in trouble milpat(1930) whispers: (...which might come :P) Ismirdochegal(2141) whispers: like me :D milpat(1930) whispers: yea, i noted u never think ismir ;) wmahan(2019) whispers: f5 Rh3 Bh5 Be6 with the threat of Bxf5 Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: yes yes :o Nemisis(2113) whispers: Rh3 seems like a waste of time. Twikki(2067) whispers: looks like Nd4 only draws wmahan(2019) whispers: then Nd4 Bxd4 Rxd4 Bxf5 gxf5 Rxh5 Rxf4 Rxh7 I hope is a draw Twikki(2067) whispers: there are some cheap mates in there, but easily avoided Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: well, white can try to push for the win now~ :< Suiseiseki(2003) whispers:..maybe :p ReyFeroz(2083) whispers: suiseiseki ReyFeroz(2083) whispers: do you have elo fide? Nemisis(2113) whispers: I am still learning my advanced endgames, but according to theory white should have a decent advantage. Nemisis(2113) whispers: At least compensation for the pawn. Nemisis(2113) whispers: One comment I heard that surprised me is some believe a bishop vs a knight in an endgame is like losing a full exchange for the knight holder in most positons Nd4 (6:57) Ismirdochegal(2141) whispers: R+B is cleraly stronger than R+N Ismirdochegal(2141) whispers: but people tend to exaggerate Nemisis(2113) whispers: Maybe.:-) Twikki(2067) whispers: gf was my main line here wmahan(2019) whispers: I thought this must be good for me Nemisis(2113) whispers: I still say white has the advantage and should play for activity. wmahan(2019) whispers: oh I see, Rd3 Bc2. missed that Nemisis(2113) whispers: So did I.:-) Nemisis(2113) whispers: But Re3 is still interesting. Funkmaus(2272) whispers: Rh3 Kg7 Re3 Kf8 Rh3 - i smell repetition Funkmaus(2272) whispers: or how else face Rh3? milpat(1930) whispers: gx seems logical, what i miss? mindlin(2011) whispers: Rh3 seems logical Nemisis(2113) whispers: naw gx is bad. milpat(1930) whispers: Rh3 Bf5 wasted of time? milpat(1930) whispers: Bh5* Funkmaus(2272) whispers: on Bh5 Rd3 works Twikki(2067) whispers: Rh3 Kg7 Re3 Nf5 Nemisis(2113) whispers: ya. Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: but doesn't win a piece :p wmahan(2019) whispers: I hope I don't get mated somehow after gxf Bc2 Kh2 Rd1 Nemisis(2113) whispers: Would win a pawn.:-p Funkmaus(2272) whispers: but wins a pawn on Nc6 Funkmaus(2272) whispers: ya Nemisis(2113) whispers: or get back a lost pawn. wmahan(2019) whispers: sorry that's not a line Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: well right :p milpat(1930) whispers: good Wil, take ur time Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: not sure if i'd take draw as w now Nemisis(2113) whispers: Well Rh3 Kg7 and Re3 would gain some time. 29.gxf6 (4:49) exf6 (0:03) 30.Bb4+ (0:42) Nemisis(2113) whispers: yeah I don't like gxf 30...Kg7 (0:05) Nemisis(2113) whispers: I like it after Rh3 Kg7 Re3 and Kf8. Seems much more powderful. Twikki(2067) whispers: Kf8 wasn't forced Nemisis(2113) whispers: What else be played? Twikki(2067) whispers: Nf5 Nemisis(2113) whispers: Nf5 Nemisis(2113) whispers: Yeah I still like it better. Nemisis(2113) whispers: Maybe Re6. 31.Re3 (1:42) Nf5 (0:05) 32.Re6 (0:42) Nemisis(2113) whispers: I guess we will find out cause this is basically the same position. Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: white's b pair looks crushing Nemisis(2113) whispers: Bc3 a threat, I still think holding the tension was better though. More chances for mistake. Twikki(2067) whispers: b5 Bxb5 Bb3 Re1 doesn't work, so maybe prepare it with a6 wmahan(2019) whispers: the threat of Bc3 or Be7 is obvious I guess Nemisis(2113) whispers: I don't think there is enough time with a6. Twikki(2067) whispers: what am I thinking about? Rd4 is fine mindlin(2011) whispers: Rd4 looks strong for black wmahan(2019) whispers: I think I've got compensation for the pawn;

7 not sure about more 32...Rd4 (4:17) mindlin(2011) whispers: but the problem is f-pawn is hanging too Funkmaus(2272) whispers: oh Twikki(2067) whispers: and where does the bishop go? b3 b5 looks nasty wmahan(2019) whispers: ok I missed that Nemisis(2113) whispers: I might try a2 Twikki(2067) whispers: mate threats after Ba4, forces b3... can't be good wmahan(2019) whispers: that's quite annoying mindlin(2011) whispers: yes b3 is required I think fredisblogs(1813) whispers: definately no compensation for the pawn imho Nemisis(2113) whispers: It was. Funkmaus(2272) whispers: b3 bc2 kxb Rxc4+ bxc and Nd4+ forks Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: aah strong move mindlin(2011) whispers: he has compensation for one pawn just not two lol 33.Ba2 (2:34) fredisblogs(1813) whispers: is just bad now Funkmaus(2272) whispers: :( Nemisis(2113) whispers: I really think gf was a blunder. wmahan(2019) whispers: Bb4 b3 Bd7, ugh wmahan(2019) whispers: I'm probably just losing then 33...Ba4 (2:18) 34.b3 (0:12) Twikki(2067) whispers: white's position looks resignable Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: darn :< Nemisis(2113) whispers: You think so? mindlin(2011) whispers: why didn't he go for b3 before without the Ba2? fredisblogs(1813) whispers: just about lost Twikki(2067) whispers: Bd7 R-any Rxf4 Nemisis(2113) whispers: I don't know.. mindlin(2011) whispers: that is one backward bishop now wmahan(2019) whispers: this is painful fredisblogs(1813) whispers: the power of the bishop pair Nemisis(2113) whispers: I have seen positions with stronger players go from to 0.00 in a few moves, in similar positions. fredisblogs(1813) whispers: thats compensation for 2 pawns 34...Bd7 (3:03) 35.Re2 (0:13) Rxf4 (0:15) 36.Kb2 (0:08) Funkmaus(2272) whispers: this is too easy to blunder away Suiseiseki(2003) whispers: i guess white is just barely holding~ Nemisis(2113) whispers: Ya.
