your pawns. In this element of the Chess Strategy Series Study we watch as two of the greatest Grandmasters demonstrate the strategic thinking behind their pawn play and show how vital it is to place supporting pieces with precision.
We then examine a ‘cat and mouse’ game where the winner uses the strategy of switching the focus of the attack - and it’s a master class in exploiting the weakness of doubled pawns.
Bobby Fischer shows that losing the exchange to gain a strategic advantage can be enough to win the game and then there are two mighty, one hundred year old clashes between those legends of the game, Frank Marshall and Jose Capablanca.
Here’s a question for you:- As it’s unlikely that a Grandmaster will have beaten another Grandmaster because the loser fell for a simple tactical trick or suffered from a glaring weakness in his
endgame technique or some other aspect of his game, just what is it that separated them?
The answer is likely to be that one of them had a better grasp of the strategic requirements of the positions which arose.
It's the fine points which make the difference between winning and losing at the highest levels of the game.
Frank Marshall loses twice to Jose Capablanca; in the first game because he doesn’t move his pawns and in the second because he does!
In this series we're looking over the shoulders of the Masters as they play their games; it's the best way to improve your own game.
