The above video excerpt from “How to Visualize Chess Cominbations” starts at move 11 as IM Kopec breaks down the logic behind potential tactics in the position, pointing out that although white´s position may appear well-coordinated it is actually stretched very thin. IM Donald Byrne was playing some of the best chess of his career at this time, having won the US Open just three years earlier in 1953. At the time of this game in 1956, Bobby Fischer was only 13 years old! This chess video excerpt from the IM Kopec´s chess DVD ¨How to Visualize Chess Combinations¨ is truly fascinating as the veteran chess trainer identifies and analyzes the impeccable logic behind Fischer´s moves that enabled him to find such an incredible combination.
