The following is one of the video lessons from the RCA chess course “Master Chess Pattern Recognition” by IM Valeri Lilov. Pattern Recognition in chess helps you to easily grasp the essence of a position on the board and find the most promising continuation. This course teaches you the most important forms you need to know in order to develop and mobilize your pieces, handle your pawns in strength positions, put pressure on your enemy, attack the enemy king, and make constant sacrifices to gain the initiative.
This lesson is about positional play – Lilov explains how usually it is better to play quite, safer moves because it simply avoids complications and hence there is no risk. He explains how ‘keeping it safe’ is one of the key strategies that strong grandmasters incorporate in their games.
Playing quite, safe, positional moves doesn’t mean that you are playing passively and are seldom creating powerful threats and strong attacks for your opponents. It’s just that it is essential to focus on improving your pieces, putting them at better squares, and this can happen one at a time, slowly. You can trust more on your intuitive thoughts to get more space for your pieces and improving them than big, complicated calculations and variations.
