It is often said in chess that a bad plan is better than no plan at all. It’s not enough to aimlessly move your pieces around the board and wait for your opponent to slip up. You need to play with purpose, and you need to have clear goals in mind. Every move you make should serve a purpose, bringing you one step closer to achieving that plan.
But coming up with a plan can be difficult, especially for beginners. How do we analyze the position on the board in order to know what to next?
In this video, IM Valeri Lilov takes a close look at a classic game between legends Anatoly Karpov and Boris Spassky. This particular game was played in 1974 in Leningrad.
Valeri explains why this game in particular is a masterclass for any aspiring chess player to learn from. Anatoly Karpov’s play is highly instructive and is a fine example of how Karpov would find the smallest of advantages and then manage to meticulously convert them into winning positions.
While there is much we can learn from this game, Valeri Lilov focusses on the three stages of planning – the point of each stages of the game, your objectives, and how to come up with plans in your own games.
It’s also important not to get so lost in your own plans that you forget to watch out for the plans of your opponent! It’s a balancing act between pushing your own plans forward and taking steps to prevent your opponent from accomplishing their goals.
The opening is the stage of play where you get your pieces into the game, developing them to good squares that have influence over the center of the board. But once the development is complete, it’s time for the next phase – getting those pieces to even better squares! it can be difficult to achieve, but it is a must if you want your inevitable attacks to be strong, successful and not to run out of steam.
