Drill #1!

I have the pleasure to announce you Drills! The reason for drills is at least fourfold:

  1. you can exercise the chess thinking skills that you learn here at Better Your Chess
  2. you can compare your own thinking and solution to a “correct” sample way of thinking
  3. you develop decent chess thinking as a part of your chess toolbox. This is also where the consistent and coherent nature of Better Your Chess plays an important role.
  4. Drills come with useful tips

Get to work!

  1. I like these! To see how thoroughly one needs to consider not only one’s own moves but also those of the opponent is very helpful. As I have mentioned before, intuition can only take a player so far.

  2. Very useful. Concentrating in only one deeply position helps to build concentration skills.
    By the way, I managed to find 1. Bxe6 but after 1…,cxd6; 2. Nxe6, Rxe6 I went on for pinning with 3. Qxf5 (with the idea to pile on the e6 Rook with the doubling of Rooks on the e-file), but of course did not correctly asses the defence 3…,Qg8.
