Experience and the constant analysis of the most varied positions builds up a store of knowledge in a player's mind enabling him often at a glance to assess this or that position.

You will already have noticed how often Capablanca repeated moves, often returning to positions which he had had before. This is not lack of deciciveness or slowness, but the employment of a basic endgame principle which is 'Do not hurry'.

The proponents of Steinitz' theory - Tarrasch and his supporters - tried to express Steinitz' teaching in the form of laconic rules, and as often happens in such cases, they went too far. The laconic tended to become dogmatic, and chess began to lose its freshness, originality and charm.

Bobby Fischer is the greatest Chess genius of all time!

The placing of the centre pawns determines the "topography" of a game of chess.

Sit there for five hours? Certainly not! A player must walk about between moves, it helps his thinking.

Once we have chosen the right formation in the centre we have created opportunities for our pieces and laid the foundation of subsequent victory.
