So… clearly my blog has gotten a little less active. Its clearly easier to (with a burst of enthusiasm) put out several Introductory Posts then to be the regular day –after-day blogger. Nonetheless, as in chess itself, One must insist upon being consistent if one is to get achieve anything. Anything less than a sustained effort, and all results become cheap and hollow. We reap the benefit of our whim, which I most things falls far short of our potential.
Mining Salt. As I indicated a little while back, I was aiming to go back to mine ‘salt’ as its called. That is Lots of relatively simple problems done with the aim of rapid pattern recognition. However, I insist that such an activity must be done analytically! Yes, easy problems are recognized readily. The Very point of the activity is to make forceful important tactical victories simple and rapid to solve. BUT, the very point of the turn based chess, is that I am not methodical, careful enough. My analysis is too superficial! In short, I go into some variations calculating a positional win, missing some “all too simple” defect in my own idea. And when I don’t see some the refuted win, my game becomes hard to understand and aimless. My aimless game can be far too passive; missing ways that the opponent can seize initiative and push his way through a faltering defense.
In short, I can’t afford to allow mining salt cheapen my lightweight analytical vision. So playing this stuff quickly is off the table. There’s no thousands of knight forks in two days for me! Instead, I’m currently taking on the easy stuff and putting into words the stated pattern. The point is to amass various tags for each tactical problem. Of course this slows me down, but that is exactly the point…. And of course an important balance between the games (G30; Otb or via chess.com); turn based chess and the tactics.
CHESS RULE #3. Chess study is about Balance and not being excessive about anything. Never play something So fast that your not absorbing the point, never do something so slow, that you can’t make routine progress in your understanding of it.
Anyways the motif idea is NOT original. Chess tempo has already catalogued its vast collection. I expecting some useful information to emerge when I can analyze the patterns- motif versus time (for example). But I still think the Point is to force the mind, to methodically consider all the different kinds of patterns in forceful chess tactics. In short ,as I said before
CHESS RULE #4. What you name becomes real to you. This is and always was the big point of naming chess variations.
Thus allowing chess tempo to do the naming defeats the purpose of even having a name. IMHO

We’re clearly out of the opening and Darjan is playing rapidly. he took a little more a minute to get to Nf3 and now he’s used 4:80 to my 7:15. As a colle, (an opening I used to play), it looks a little off to advance the end pawns and to allow the black bishop to be exchanged.

He’s still playing fast. (16 moves in 5:45 or 22 seconds per move) Though the next few moves slow him down. I am probably moving a little fast too, ( 16 moves in 10:49 or 40 seconds per move) though the next many moves called for a lot of accuracy. When one guy is cruising at top speed through chess he might not be understanding you just have to be a little slower and more careful to win. (post edit—16. b4, I think gains material)

He’s got me in a fork, but although he’s been aggressive, I’ve got some crazy counter-play coming. Chief amoung them is Nf3 with a knight fork against the Queen.

- Qb7 Be4
- g3…. (Nf3)

The pawn thrust does stop mate, but in no way does it diminish my play, since g pawn is pinned. Instead after (Nf3), white will have to move the King. By this time though I think he’s panicking and not playing too good at all. Its important to note that moving the black knight does allow for Qxf7+, but as long as white hangs upto g file; white has no time to make the most of his aggressively posted pieces.
The rest of moves showcase him walking from check to check, then, rattled, hanging his Queen.
- Kh1 Nxe1+
- Kg1 Nf3+
- Kf1 Nd2+
- Ke1 Nxb1
- Qxb1?? (the Bishop at f4 is eyeing b1, and black would be many pieces up with hope for white)
