<br />
<br />This is partly due to a lack of numbers, as players are away on holiday.
<br />
<br />The chess club will start as normal on Friday September 9th.
<br />
<br />Also new for this season we are going to have a beginners club,this starts a week later on Thursday the 15th.Knights of Gidea Park Junior Chess Clubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16086266176444290532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852471635152452058.post-630951057595025722011-08-14T09:44:00.000-07:002011-08-14T12:58:41.606-07:00GREAT GAME FROM BOBBY FISCHERThis is a game played in the Bled tournament in 1961.
<br />The winner of this game is Bobby Fischer,perhaps the greatest chess player ever.
<br />Fischer was World Champion in 1972.
<br />He died in 2008 aged 64.
<br />64 is also the number of squares on a chessboard.
<br />
<br />In this game you will see TACTICS,the usual ones,PINS,FORKS and some you may not have seen. Queen SACRIFICE,knight OUTPOST on d6.
<br />
<br />While you are playing over the game look for TACTICS,perhaps you could use them in your games.
<br />Also enjoy a great game.

following this advice if you understand tactics and use them in your games you will have a better chance of winning. Spotting tactics is difficult, it takes practise. The more you practise tactics the easier it is to see them in your games.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt">What are tactics?</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt">The common tactics are:</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt">PINS,FORKS,DISCOVERED CHECK,DISCOVERED ATTACK,REMOVE THE DEFENDER,OVERLOAD.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt">If you can look for tactics in your games they can sometimes be winning moves.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"
