Principles:
principle of attack. Attacking moves help us to
realize our plan, and they dont allow our opponent
to realize his plan at the same time. If you can
attack, do it! (A real attacking move is a forcing
move!!!)
(This is the most important principle in a chess
game)
principle of maximum activity. We should make
the moves of the pieces as forward as possible
principle of the material. It means you should
take something if you can.
(The principles of activity and material are the 2
most important ideas in a chess game. That means
you should follow them most of all.)
principle of the least active piece: We should
move first our least active piece in order to get its
maximum activity.
principle of limitation: We should restrict an
activity of opponents pieces (least active piece and
limitation are equal principles nevertheless, first one
activates our own piece while the second one
limitates our opponents piece activity)
principle of neutralization: of the most active
piece of an opponent in our territory of the board,
Thinking Process
1)After the opponents move you should ask
yourself what is the opponents threat? or
what the opponent is going to do on the next
move? (Is he threatening a real or a false
attack?)
2)During the game we should think about the
position in general first, then start to
calculate the concrete variations.
