- Chess Styles Tips
1. Its always good to know your own personal strengths
and weaknesses. If your strength is being aggressive on
the chess board then you might want to adapt a style
like kasparov's. If you like being defensive waiting for
your opponent to slip up then you might want to play
like Krempov. Of you might like to play sacrificial and
play like Tal. There's other stiles too but the three
mentioned are the main three. Over all what we are after
here is to know and to pick a personal favored chess
stile.
2. In the opening one should have a primal goal and that
is to aim for a mid-game position where you both have
the advantage and can apply your chess style talents.
This is a strong recommendation from kasparov him self
who landed many mid game positions where he could play
very aggressive from. He also made things complex.
3. Also the talent to be flexible is also important
because we often end up in positions that require good
Defence or something ells in particular. So we need to
learn to be in the moment to meet the demands at the
moment. And the ability to recognize what style of play
should be applied in this chess moment. For example if
your opponents pieces was a threat then you might
suddenly want to start exchanging pieces to minimize the
threat. Or if your position is secure and you have a
slight advantage you might want to attack now, You might
want to hold a strong position with out running out of
steam thus keeping the pressure on. You might want to
make things more complex.
So as you can see having your own personal favored style
is good because it gives us ideas for positions to aim
for where we can show our greatest talents. Also the
ability to shift styles to meet the demands of the
moment. Both ideas are important.
