Titolo: Un nuovo  corso  , cosa ne pensate?(Lungo)

Buona  sera,
ho  trovato su Internet l  offerta di un corso
di scacchi  
How the heck do tournament competitors and top-rated players get so 
darned good at chess? Well, I can tell you that the really good chess 
players (the one's with the 2200 ratings) didn't get that good by 
accident!
They had to study & practice extremely hard to get to where they are 
today. Most likely, they've studied chess strategies for years and 
have played hundreds (perhaps even thousands of games) to obtain the 
level of experience that they have today.
So, in order for ordinary people like you and me to get "good" at 
chess, we would have to go through years of training, expensive 
lessons, reading books, and trial & error.
I'm not claiming that you're going to become the next Kasparov over 
night, but I can tell you that these strategies work.

I have no experience with this person's method.
Please, if a member of ChessCourse or one of the other groups has the
inclination to try it out, many of us would be interested in your
opinion of it.
 
For myself, I am devoted to the Whole Game approach.
You learn the strategic ideas and the tactical motifs in a Natural
manner as chessteacher leads you through selected whole games.
 
Here is an example based on a game seen in a local coffee house.
Take out your chess set now and play this over with me ....
 
This Coffee House game is over in 22 moves. However, near the end, White
could have played 18.Kf1
[instead of Kf3] and so the assignment for the sincere chessStudent is
to go back to move 18 and play
Kf1 and see then does Black have a winning plan available? See what
happens after 18.Kf1 if both sides
make logical m oves such as may be suggested to you by a strong chess
engine ...
1.  f4 
OK, so what does this bum intend to do to me with this  offbeat move? 
1.  ... Nf6 
This is a move that is useful, laying claim to the center  squares d5
and e4.
2.  b3 g6 
To a beginner these look like wasted moves; however both  players are
interested in placing bishops where they will  have a long reach.
3.  Bb2 Bg7 
Now we see the beginning of an intense conflict over  control of the
diagonal a1 - h8.
4.  Nf3 
White now controls the strategic post e5. Now Black can move 4. ...d5
and claim control over the  light squares d5 and e4.
4.  ... c5!? 
However, chessteacher is of a different mind; with the  thrust to c5
Black is ready to take on d4.
5.  e4 
Yes, White is alert and notices the black bishop hanging  [unprotected]
at g7; this means the knight at f6 is pinned  by the bishop at b2. This
means the white pawn on e4 is  safe!
5.  ... O-O 
By castling, what is Black doing?  He is protecting the  bishop at g7
with the king; thus Black now threatens to  take the pawn at e4. How
shall White deal with the attack  on this pawn?
6.  e5! 
Yes, one way to protect an attacked pawn is to advance it. 
6.  ... Nd5 
This not only saves the knight, but attacks -- What? An experienced
chessplayer notices the attack on f4.
7.  g3 
White defends f4 and prepares to bring a bishop to g2  where he will
influence the long diagonal to a8.
7.  ... b6 
So I prepare to bring a bishop to b7. Another way for Black  to play,
however, was 7. ...d6, hitting the advanced white  pawn.
8.  Bg2 Bb7 
I would like to see some Coaching Games start here, after  eight moves.
The position is as unbalanced as one could  imagine after only eight
moves. White has a an extremely strong grip on e5 while the  black pawn
at c5 patrols d4 effectively. The four bishops are arranged for their
maximum  influence on the long diagonals. Clearly an intense middle game
battle is coming.
9.  c4 
A common mistake of beginners is to make one-move  threats that drive
pieces to better locations. Simply 9.0-0  was better for White; by
castling the white king would  enjoy the safety of g1 and the rook at h1
would be more  involved in the battle at f1.
9.  ... Nb4 
Black threatens ...Nd3+ forking king and bishop at b2. What is the best
way for White to gain control of d3?
10.  d4! 
Yes! Moving the pawn up to d4 allows the white queen to  control d3, do
you see? Did I remember to mention that chessteacher001 is Black in
this game? White is an opponent at the local coffee house  in Beautiful
Downtown Cloverdale.
10.  ... cxd4 
The pawn on c5 fulfills his mission by taking a white pawn  at d4.
Notice now that the knight on f3 will not recapture  because the bishop
on b7 pins the knight aganst the  hanging bishop at g2. Thus, because
White failed to castle,  the bishop has to take back on d4 instead of
the knight.
11.  Bxd4 
Let's start awarding points to the chessStudent for  choosing good
moves. Here, if you were thinking that  White does not have to take back
the pawn at once, but  may do better with 11.a3 first, then castling,
and then  taking back on d4 whenever he pleases -- if you were  thinking
that, then award yourself a full 10 points!
11.  ... N8c6 
Here there is a better move for Black. Did you spot the idea  of 11.
...Be4 first?  That is a ten-point idea! [11. ...Be4 12.Nc3 Bf5] As I
played it, the bishop on b7 is temporarily blocked from  influencing the
center.
12.  Bc3 
Very good! Give yourself 6 points for finding this move,  which combines
defense of the bishop with pressure on the  b4 knight; in other words,
the knight on b4 must be  watched over by the other black knight, or
retreat.
12.  ... d6 
I decided to let the knight take care of his brother at b4,  and
meanwhile let's strike out at e5.
13.  exd6 
This is typical of the mediocre moves made by a casual  chessplayer. Why
is White in a hurry to exchange pawns?  What is the 10-point move White
missed here? Why, 10.a3! of course. White can leave the situation at d6
unresolved for now, and force back the black knight, then  castle. After
all, if black is allowed to play ...dxe5, then  White simple recaptures
on e5 and enjoys control in that  part of the territory.
13.  ... exd6 
Black is better after taking with the queen on d6, but this is
Coffee-House Chess, and there is a tendency to to keep  pieces on the
board -- especially queens.  Now all White has to do is castle, and it
is an equal game,  or even better for White because of the weak pawn at
d6.
14.  Qd2? 
However, White does not castle, but makes another one- move threat --
which is not even a threat at all! Notice, if  it were White's move
again here, that Bxb4 is answered by  ...Bxa1!  Now Black just has to
play 14. ...Re8+ forcing the white  king to move, with advantage to
Black.
14.  ... Nd4? 
But chessteacher does not make that simle good move, but,  since this is
chess inside a coffee house, plays a move to  stir things up a bit.
15.  Nxd4 
I thought I had a good idea here, but see what happens ...  He takes my
knight ...
15.  ... Bxg2 
16.  Qxg2 Re8+ 
So I trade bishops, and play my rook move, giving check  to the king,
allowing White the choice of moving the king,  or defending with 17.Ne2,
but that allows 17. ...Nc2+  with an equal game again. By simply moving
the king,  White remains ahead by a knight. For 10 points, ChessStudent,
find White's best king move.
 
17.  Kf2 
This is the move made in the game -- and it is a blunder  that loses the
knght back to White!  If you said to move the  king to f1, then take 10
points; White is then winning with  a clear extra piece. If you thought
to play the king to d2,  give yourself 8 ponts. But the move to f2 is a
Zero!
17.  ... Nd3+ 
..... because now the Checking Knight comes in forcefully,  and again,
Where does the white king go now?
18.  Kf3 
White thought carefully about playing 18.Kf1, but saw that  then 18.
...Bxd4! gets back the knight due to the mate  threat at e1! [18.Kf1
Bxd4 19.Bxd4?? Re1#] However, it was better for White to return the
knight  [18.Kf1 Bxd4 19.Qd5] than moving the king forward into  the
Lions Den. What then is the correct way for Black to  take advantage of
this mistake?
18.  ... Qe7! 
Yes, it didn't take old chessteacher long to decide on this
killer-move. Now White has no way to protect both e3 and  e4 from the
invading black queen.
19.  Nd2 
Noticing that 19.Qd2 allows black the queen check at e4  leading to a
winning attack on the king, White tries to get  his other knight and
a1-rook into the battle -- but it is too  little, too late.
19.  ... Qe3+ 
Can you see from here to Checkmate? There are only three moves left. 
20.  Kg4 
For 10 points, find the Mate in Three by Black here. 
20.  ... h5+ 
Right! It begins with check by a pawn, and Black controls  the territory
next to the white king.
21.  Kh4 
To get your full 10 points, state how Black would have  mated in two
moves if White had moved the king to h3  instead.
21.  ... Bf6+ 
Note that there is only one legal move now for White --  only one move
to get out of check.
22.  Kh3 
Good; now everyone stop here and find the Checkmating Move by Black.
Hint: The Pin is mightier than the sword.
Nxf4+ 
Yes, of course. The black queen PINS the g3-pawn against the king. A pin
against the king is 'absolute'; that is, any move by the g3-pawn here is
not even a move, since we are never allowed to expose our king to check.
Therefore, Black has won.
Checkmate.
 
 
THIS CHESSADVENTURE IS DEDICATED TO MY DEAR STUDENT AND SISTER, 'SNOW'.
She has shown care and commitment in her simple expectation 
that old chessteacher can and will support her in her life's goals.
Yes, dear sister, and I understand now that what I have been doing with
learners of chess and of English I can do likewise with learners of
mathematics.
I am now also wearing the identity:
maths...@gmail.com
and am ready to develop the 'Big Ideas' method 
with people who sincerely desire to stand-under mathematics.
Chessteacher decreases the dread of having to do massive calculations 
[in chess and in mathematics]
and replaces that with focus on the 'Big Ideas In Practice' method 
of knowing what to think about when it is your move....
or which buttons on the calculator to push 
to find out what we need to know.
A wonderful game to review --- full of tactical ideas.
See how many of these ideas could be applied 
to the game you call Your Life ... 
and what possibilities would then arise?
 
 White   Black
1.  d4    Nf6 
White influences e5 and c5 with a pawn supported by the queen; 
Black counters with a knight who has influence over e4 and d5.
[Big Idea: Control Territory in the Center]
2.  c4    e6 
Since White is prevented from playing 2.e4, he goes to c4, with
influence on d5;
Black plays the e-pawn, opening diagonals for the f8-bishop and the
queen.
[Big Idea: Mobility]
3.  Nc3   Bb4 
White shows interest in d5 and e4 with a knight move;
Black cancels that by depriving the knight of the power to move
anywhere!
This is known as 'Pinning the Knight against the King'.
It is an 'Absolute Pin' because a knight move would not lose anything;
it would be an illegal move and the knight would be put back on c3, 
and White would be required to make a legal move.
[Big Idea: Limit Opponent's Mobility]
Played at the G & G Coffee House, Cloverdale CA, 2006 10 24. 
Before the game, the players had agreed to start the game 
with these first three moves. 
They also agreed to look for the most 'unbalanced' move every time; 
to prefer counter-attacking to passive defense whenever possible.
 
The assignment for the sincere chess student is 
to look for ways to improve play for both sides.  
We give here the moves that were actually played, and your job is to
point to moves that could have been improved upon,
stating why you believe your 'candidate move' is better than the one
played in the game.
That is, show how it would have achieved a better result ...
such as achieving a draw instead of a loss, for example. 
4.  Bg5 
White knows that 4.e3 is the safe and sound move here, 
but he keeps his promise to unbalance the game as much as possible 
with this pin of the knight against the queen. 
[This is a 'Relative Pin' because the knight is free t o move, 
although that would allow White to capture the queen with the bishop on
g5.]
4.  ...   c5 
Black charges back with this direct attack on d4.
5.  d5 
Seeing that Black is ready to recapture on c5 with a gain of Mobility
for a bishop,
White continues to play aggressively; did he have a better move here?
[For example, what is your opinion of 5.Nf3 or 5.e3 ?] 
5.  ...   Qa5 
Would simply taking on d5 be better for Black than this queen move? 
Black of course is keeping his promise 
to UNBALANCE the game 
by increasing the pressure on c3 [and e1].
6.  Bxf6 
White gives up the bishop for the knight and the chance to weaken the
black paw ns on the kingside.
Was that best for White?  
What do you think of the obvious move 6.Bd2 -- ? 
6.  ... gxf6 
7.  Qc2 
White defends c3 while putting pressure on h7. 
7.  ... d6 
Now Black can recapture on e6 with a bishop 
and the white d-pawn is blocked from advancing -- for now. 
8.  e4 
White takes control of more territory in the center. 
Would 8.a3 have been a good move too? 
8.  ... Bd7 
Black could have blocked the center with 8. ...e5, 
but  instead plays to counter-attack with the threat of ...Ba4. 
9.  a4 
Is this move sound? 
Did W hite have to play this, or would 9.Nge2 have served better? 
9.  ... Rg8 
This keeps the white bishop tied down to the defense of g2. 
10.  e5? 
This is a typical coffee-house move. 
White knows it is not sound to give up this pawn, 
because after 10. ...fxe5, 
the  reply 11.Qxh7 
is refuted by ...Bxc3, winning. 
10.  ... f5 
However, Black preferred to keep the white queen out of h7 anyway, 
and did not take advantage of White's mistake. 
11.  exd6 Na6 
Black has played a 'Positional Pawn Gambit', 
yielding the pawn on d6 
in return for active development of almost all of his pieces, 
while White still has three pieces immobilized and a knight still pin
ned.
Is that worth a pawn? 
12.  Nf3 
This is not a bad move, of course, because the knight on g1 wants
Mobility.
Would taking on e6 first have been stronger? 
12.  ... O-O-O 
Now Black's mobilization is complete, 
and he is ready for the midgame struggle ... 
13.  g3 
His idea is to liberate [mobilize] the bishop, 
who now no longer needs to defend g2, 
and opening the possibility of bishop going to g2 or h3.  
However, was 13.Ne5 even better for White? 
13.  ... Rg4 
Simply taking on d5 was good enough for an advantage,  
but Black is aware that in a coffee house one mixes things up when
possible.
Black would like to see 14.Ne5 now,& nbsp; 
after which ...Re4+! picks up a knight for free! 
NOTICE THE EFFECT OF THE ABSOLUTE PIN ON THE c3-KNIGHT.
14.  Nd2 
White secures c4 so the bishop is free to go to g2 or h3. 
14.  ... e5 ?
This is a weak move; it leaves f5 weak. 
What would have been correct for Black at 14? 
15.  Bh3 
Of course, and now Black should defend with ...Rg5. 
15.  ... Rd4 
Instead Black seems to want this rook for aggressive duty, 
eyeing the knight on d2.  
Now White simply castles kingside and is winning. 
16.  Bxf5 
Instead, he grabs the pawn at once. 
16.  ... Bxf5 
17.  Qxf5+ Kb8 
Now White can gain a large advantage with 18.Ndb1! and  castling.  
Instead ... 
18.  d7 
Instead he tries to hold onto the advanced d-pawn. 
18.  ... Bxc3 
Black decides it is time to resolve the situation at c3. 
19.  bxc3 Qxc3 
20.  Qxe5+ Ka8 
Now how should White press the attack here? 
21.  Qe8 
Wrong. 
With 21.Rd1 White has a serious advantage. 
Now he gives up too much; 
remember there is no rule that sa ys Black has to capture the queen! 
21.  ... Qxa1+ 
Black sees a way to capture a rook 
and then get back to f6 for the defense of d8. 
22.  Ke2 Rxd2+ 
Yes. 
Do we all see that White has mate in three moves if Black takes the rook
at h1?
23.  Kxd2 Qf6 
Now Black is well defended 
and remains with the material advanatage of knight for two pawns. 
24.  Re1 
White now threatens 25.Qxd8+ followed by Re8, winning. 
24.  ... Qd4+ 
Black however sees the exposed white king as a target ... 
25.  Kc1 
The chess student is advised to look at 25 .Kc2 and find the mate in
five moves for Black.
What a team are the knight and queen! 
25.  ... Qxc4+ 
26.  Kb2 Qd4+ 
27.  Kc1 Qc4+ 
28.  Kb2 Qb4+ 
29.  Kc1 Nb8 
Now if White takes the rook it is not a check, 
and Black will have time to take the white rook in return. 
30.  Re7 
Now the threat to the black rook is a real one. 
30.  ... Qc3+ 
31.  Kb1 Qa5 
Black defends d8 and is well on the way to winning ...  
Do we see how? 
32.  Rxf7 c4 
Yes! 
Black threatens to advance this pawn and pick up a 2nd queen. 
33.  Rxh7 Nxd7 34.  Qe7 Nc5 
A fine example of defense and counter-attack in the same  move ... 
Notice the defense of b7. 
35.  d6 
This is a good way to save the d-pawn -- Advance it. 
35.  ... Qb4+ 
36.  Kc2 Qxa4+ 
37.  Kc3 Qb3+ 
38.  Kd4 Rc8 !
Black winds up a series of attacking move 
with this defense of the knight and the rook. 
39.  Rf7 Qd3+ 
40.  Ke5 c3 
41.  d7 Qe4+ 
42.  Kf6 Qd4+ 
43.  Kf5 Qd5+ 
44.  Kg6 Qd3+ 
45.  Kf6 Nxd7+ 
46.  Qxd7 Qxd7 
47.  Rxd7 c2 
48.  Ke6 c1=Q 
49.  h4 Qh6+ 
50.  Kf5 Rf8+ 
51.  Ke4 Qe6+ 
52.  Kd4 Qxd 7+ 
53.  Ke3 Re8+ 
54.  Kf3 Qf5+ 
55.  Kg2 Re2 
56.  h5 Rxf2+ 
57.  Kg1 Ra2 
58.  g4 Qb1# 
Cosa  ne  pensate?
Insomma  prima  di  buttar via  i  miei soldi
mi  piacerebbe  avere  un parere da giocatori
piu  forti ,
grazie per le risposte  ,
Michele.
